Why dev/scd0

My IDE setup is
IDE1 Master = Hard drive
IDE1 Slave = Generic CD-ROM
IDE2 master = HP CD Writer 9300i

Mandrake mounted the harddrive as dev/hda, the generic cd drive as /dev/hdb and the HP drive as /dev/scd0 - shouldn't the HP drive have been /dev/hdc? Does Linux recognize cd writers as SCSI devices?

Cheers,

Chris

IDE CD-R devices are seen as SCSI devices in linux .. it is working as it should :)

In order to burn to an IDE burner the kernel loads a SCSI emmulation module and all is as it should be.. counterintutitive... yes... but necessary :)
