Thats odd, at least for here.  Here I have a dvd writer as /dev/hdc, 
and a 200gig drive as /dev/hdd.  Its the virtual tapes for amanda.  
It Just Works(TM).

Using the M/S jumpers and normal cables, I have never had (since the 
atapi crap finally got sorted about 6 or 7 years back) a problem that 
required I move a drives identity jumper block from where I'd already 
put it.  Thats from a 3 machine database, with about 10 drives of 
various flavors installed.

Any particular reason it shouldn't work?
