Hi David, all,

my cd drive is a Sony CDU 4811, plain old IDE. Can I set this up with 
SCSI emulation? It seems from my config that I've got module SCSI 
emulation compiled into my kernel already. Would I then have to 
configure the drive in fstab or something?

I do have SCSI but that's on an old server machine with windows NT on it.
