Please remember that you can't send the MO drive any DVD-RAM specific commands and expect it to work. The special-casing in the probe routine in ide-cd is there for a reason, and I don't think calling cdrom_dvdram_open_write would be a good idea, either. I haven't actually looked at that routine, but if it sends anything to the drive, my MO drive won't like it one bit. It will at best error out and then cdrom_dvdram_open_write will error out, too, disallowing opening for write, right?
