True, and nobody cares about SCSI generic because it's neither
necessary to know nor does anyone want to know (especially for IDE
drives).
Jörg is mentally fixed on his x,y,z addressing for reasons which only
apply on discontinued platforms, as you say. Personally I don't care
about platforms I don't have, and I start disliking them if it means
more work for me. The x,y,z on Linux is a PITA. I take it others think
the same, otherwise there wouldn't have been an effort to make cdrecord
work with device names. That's the bonus of free software - you want a
feature and are prepared to program it, just do it, esp when others
like that feature too.
