Cdrecord supports ATAPI drives if the OS supports them. I as the author of cdrecord have no influence on OS design. ATAPI is SCSI commands sent over IDE transport. The natural way of implementing this transport is to add a IDE specific hostadapter driver to the SCSI subsystem. If the authors of an OS decide to implement ATAPI in a different way, cdrecord will not work for ATAPI drives on this OS.
