Almost any MO drive can be configured (e.g. jumper) to introduce
itself as a (removable) direct access device (id 0x00) rather than
a WORM (id 0x04). Solaris would treat the drive as a normal hard
disk via sd driver.
You may still run into problems regarding the 2048 byte sector
size of usual MO media, but this depends on how you are going to
access the data.
