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
DVD burner (I don't recall which ones, maybe just related to the missing
/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?
