I think they are both the same... Aehmm I use a real scsi burner too.
But to my knowledge, sr0 vs. scd0 is the same device. See also the same
major/minor numbers. But you answered an unasked question: ide-scsi
works with cdroms as well. I cannot use my cdrom as source for reading
audio. But I'll experiment a bit with IDE-SCSI.

brauki@marvin:/dev > ls -l sr0
brw-rw-rw-   2 root     disk      11,   0 Jul 29  2000 sr0
brauki@marvin:/dev > ls -l scd0
brw-rw-rw-   2 root     disk      11,   0 Jul 29  2000 scd0
