Nowadays the SCSI driver is also used for IDE and SATA drives. That's good 
because there is only one section of the kernel responsible for disks, 
but it is confusing for users. Especially for users who know there is a 
difference between IDE and SCSI and that IDE devices used to have hd* 
names.

BTW: Congrats for solving the mystery why there were /dev/dvd1 
and /dev/cdrom1 but not /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom.
