Yes. However, the real issue is not SATA vs PATA, it is "native" vs "legacy". The old CD-ROM drivers (XCDROM, QCDROM, ...) did support "legacy" IDE controllers only, while the newer ones (XCDROM32, UDVD, ...) should work with "native" ones as well. It's just that SATA devices are often attached to IDE controllers running in "native" mode.
