This must be the reason most cd players don't work as expected with
SCSI drives. This is a real bummer. I have a Sony 75S and I can
mount, umount and play cd's ok but when I try and use one of the
small cd players for wmaker it won't see type of drive (data/
music), it won't see the number of tracks until you step up or down
one track, etc etc. Just not quite there.
