SCSI RW CDROM



Hi,

I've got a CD/RW,CD-R disk player, but it doesn't seem to require
anything calls 'sr_mod'.  It certainly uses the 'sg' kernel module
(generic SCSI).  I have a Matshita CD-RW CW-7585 Rev 1.01 (which I can
see when I run 'cdrecord -scanbus'.

FWIW, I have:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 May 13 21:59 /dev/cdrom1 -> scd0
brw-rw----    1 root     disk      11,   0 May  5  1998 /dev/scd0

(I did have to recompile my kernel to get this to work, FWIW)
