handy,

burning ISOs works fine here too (but i've a SCSI CDRW), very easy
with dd if=/dev/ide/cd/.... bs=1k | cdrecord ...... -.

however, how do you make /exact/ copies of audio CDs? eg, i have CDs
with secret tracks, CDs of live concerts and ripping them and then
using cdrecord just wouldn't be good enough.

there is cdrdao, however: how can you use it to make a copy of an
audio CD when you have an IDE CDROM? i've tried ide-scsi and it sees
my ATAPI CDROM fine, and it shows up in /proc/scsi/scsi, and the sg.o
module is happy.

however, i can not for the life of me get cdrdao to use the ide-scsi
CDROM as the source device, so that i can do --on-the-fly copies of
audio cds.

anyone else got it working? (using cdrdao to read the audio CD from
the SCSI CDRW to hard disk, then burning it works fine)
