You can't allow applications to issue raw commands without privileges
by either interface. Not using ide-scsi makes it much easier to handle
IDE burning - because the device has one name, but doesn't really deal
with the fact that scsi level command access allows you to do stuff like
'erase firmware', which normally suggests root only is good )
