Finding my CD-ROM device by find command?


My system has a PATA CDROM as /dev/scd0 and a USB CDROM as /dev/scd1.

Right now I can detect/find my USB-CDROM by the following command:
Code:
find /dev/disk/by-path/ -type l -iname \*usb\*scsi\* -print0 | xargs -0 -iD readlink -f D | grep scd

Output:
/dev/scd1
However, what modification should make to the above command toto find my PATA CD-ROM?

I tried
Code:
find /dev/disk/by-path/ -type l -iname \*ata\*scsi\* -print0 | xargs -0 -iD readlink -f D | grep scd

and 

find /dev/disk/by-path/ -type l -iname \*cdrom\*scsi\* -print0 | xargs -0 -iD readlink -f D | grep scd
From where do I find the device type for my PATA CD-ROM to substitute in the above command?
