Yeah, it works great as a read-only CD-ROM.  I can mount CDs on it all
day.

Here's what I get:

# ./scsi
bus0 target4 lun0
sending SCSI command 00 00 00 00 00 00
test unit ready: sense ASC=0 ASCQ=0

So it still looks like cdrecord is getting confused where other 
programs aren't.  Hm... I'll try the symbolic link suggestion
another person suggested, but I thought cdrecord went for absolute
scsi target numbers, not /dev/ names... this is odd.
