Not true, I'm using /dev/hd for all my PATA HD and DVD drives and |

/dev/sd for the SATA HDs. Systems are ~amd64. |

At the time /dev/sr was introduced I tried it and had problems on the |
| 10 |
DVD burner (I don't recall which ones, maybe just related to the missing |
| 11 |
/dev/dvd link) so I decided to stick with the old driver. |

Is there any advantage to switch to the SATA driver also for PATA drives? |
