I know there are many non-CD/DVD based devices that required the scsi-ide module. A few that come to mind are the 3Ware Escalade driver, certain USB floppy drives, and the USB SanDisk-9 module.
Actually, no.. the Escalade has it's own driver already in the kernel since at least sometime in the 2.4 series. It's seen by Linux as an actual SCSI device (ie:<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/dev/sda) and not accessed as some rediculous dev=0,1,0 device.
As far as I know the USB devices also have never been accessed via the scsi-ide interface either (especially since they are USB and not IDE devices.)
