This interface allows to send SCSI commands directly + to ATAPI drives without using ide-scsi and sg, but it has several pitfalls. + + While Linux allows to use DMA when using ide-scsi and sg if the + sector size is 2048 and the transfer buffer starts page aligned, the new + direct interface never uses DMA (acording to Linus Torvalds). So if you + write audio CDs or data CDs in RAW mode, there is no difference. If you + write data CDs in TAO or DAO mode, using ide-scsi and sg allows much + higher write speed. Note that this may change in future.... + + Notes for use: + + - You need to specify something like dev=/dev/hdc + Note that this is unsupported by libscg. + + - As long as there is no safe way for libscg to find out early that + this new interface is used, libscg may hang a bit on open. + This is caused by the fact that libscg is forced to read + from the open filedscriptor to clean up old Linux sg driver + interfaces.
