Yes, there is IMHO. The Onstream tape driver (osst) depends on ide-scsi
for controlling the IDE version of the drive (DI-30).

Fixing ide-scsi is not trivial, though. I've spent some time on it
on and off and have not been all that successful. The biggest problem
I have is the error recovery -- making ide subsystem error handling
happen when the scsi error handler needs it...
