I cannot find any reason why this driver was written other than getting rid of the SCSI dependency.

Kernel release status Posted Oct 22, 2004 20:16 UTC (Fri) by zezaz (guest, #5465) [Link] Thank you for this response. This change seems interesting enough, AFAIR the same thing happened for ATAPI CD writing which got rid of the SCSI dependency in the 2.5.x series. Let us just hope that the compatibility will get broader again. And that Linux on an USB stick will become easier to handle after this change!
