-config BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY
- tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support"
- ---help---
- If you have an IDE floppy drive which uses the ATAPI protocol,
- answer Y. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM/tape/floppy
- drives, similar to the SCSI protocol.
-
- The LS-120 and the IDE/ATAPI Iomega ZIP drive are also supported by
- this driver. For information about jumper settings and the question
- of when a ZIP drive uses a partition table, see
- <http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/zip/zip-1.html>.
- (ATAPI PD-CD/CDR drives are not supported by this driver; support
- for PD-CD/CDR drives is available if you answer Y to
- "SCSI emulation support", below).
-
- If you say Y here, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along with
- other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar (check
- the boot messages with dmesg).
-
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
- module will be called ide-floppy.

-config BLK_DEV_IDESCSI
- tristate "SCSI emulation support"
- depends on SCSI
- ---help---
- WARNING: ide-scsi is no longer needed for cd writing applications!
- The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide-cd, which eliminates
- the need for ide-scsi + the entire scsi stack just for writing a
- cd. The new method is more efficient in every way.
-
- This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices,
- and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native
- ATAPI driver.
-
- This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native
- driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD drive);
- you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI
- device driver. In order to do this, say Y here and to "SCSI support"
- and "SCSI generic support", below. You must then provide the kernel
- command line "hdx=ide-scsi" (try "man bootparam" or see the
- documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
- pass options to the kernel at boot time) for devices if you want the
- native EIDE sub-drivers to skip over the native support, so that
- this SCSI emulation can be used instead.
-
- Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a
- box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter installed.
-
- If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled
- into the kernel, the native support will be used.
