It may work fine, I haven't had the inclination to try it. But be aware
that there is a new feature to use ATAPI devices with the SCSI command set
directly, not using ide-scsi, which *may* provide some more or better
access than the standard interface. There was a patch to cdrecord to use
that interface, I believe it's in the latest releases.

Note that I don't know if this will give better access, or even if such is
needed.
