You nailed it .... I'm guessing the other drive *may* be possibly a
burner. Linux uses SCSI emulation to *talk* to IDE burners. If you
have something that can scan for devices on a SCSI bus (ie: cdrecord
--scanbus) it should return the device/LUN ID of your IDE drive if its
a burner.

I haven't really run into any case other then that where SCSI
emulation was used on an IDE drive.
