Thanks! You know I could have swore I tried that :-( I think I got
fixated on the man page which states
FILES
/dev/ad* ATA disk device nodes
/dev/acd* ATAPI CD-ROM device nodes
/dev/afd* ATAPI floppy drive device nodes
/dev/ast* ATAPI tape drive device nodes
Perhaps an update to the manpage to clarify ?
/dev/ast* ATAPI tape drive device nodes
/dev/rast* ATAPI tape drive device nodes
