AFAIK In case the harddisk is without an rdb sending normal commands
will not have an effect. The same goes for scsi cdroms/cdr's. I also tried
sending normal commands to an ide harddisk with no rdb, didn't work
either.
Also the ide scsi.device emulates an scsi controller so why not take
advantage of it as one.
