Try	scsi -f /dev/rworm0.ctl -s 3600 -c "e9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0"

if this does not work, then try
	scsi -f /dev/rworm0.ctl -s 3600 -c "35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
followed by
	scsi -f /dev/rworm0.ctl -s 3600 -c "e9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0"

So this means that the the bug is in wormcontrol rather than in the
driver ??
