    Once you declare hde=ide-scsi the cdrom gets accessed as /dev/sr0

    Also make sure ide-scsi is loaded so:
    modprobe ide-scsi

    then put a cd in the drive and
    mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom

    Also, you have a /dev/hde ide device? Maybe there is some
    glitch with your extra ide card?

    When you use cdrecord to write, you usually use the bus and device numbers.
    Do "cdrecord -scanbus"
    and you should get a list of all scsi devices, the first entry in the list is the number
    like 1,0,0

    EXAMPLE 5: Writing an image-file mastered with mkisofs
            
    cdrecord -v -dummy -eject speed=2 dev=0,1,0 /mnt/image.raw

    The dummy switch lets you do a test run. Remove it for real writes.

    Hope those tips get you going.
