Just for the record:
sos# ./cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.9 (i386-unknown-freebsd5.0) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
./cdrecord: Warning: using inofficial libscg transport code version (Copyright 2001 Søren Schmidt <sos@freebsd.dk>-FreeBSD ATA driver backend v1.0 'ALPHA').
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'ADAPTEC ' 'ACB-5500 ' 'FAKE' NON CCS Disk
0,1,0 1) 'HITACHI ' 'GF-1000 ' 'I002' Removable CD-ROM
0,2,0 2) 'CONNER ' 'CTT8000-A ' '1.17' Removable Tape
0,3,0 3) 'GENERIC ' 'CRD-BP1400P ' '5.29' Removable CD-ROM
There it is, there is no SCSI subsystem involved here, and no I cant
release the code since cdrecord in under the GNU virus, and part of the
above is code that is not public (yet)....
Oh and BTW this fails just as miserably on those burners that doesn't
currently work with burncd in -current :)
