When using atapicam, yes.

Incorrect, acd?c is still available with atapicd in the kernel config

Yes; however, acd0 will also be seen in your dmesg.  Not a problem, like I
said in a previous post as long as you access only one of the devices, i.e
/dev/acd0c or /dev/cd0 at a time.  You can remove the atapicd to minimize
this risk, of course.

Hope this is a little more clear.

A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well
