Sure (although it tells the same even iff a medium's in the drive, but
let's ignore this, it's not important).

Interesting.  Does this mean that even the audio volume controls
(e.g. workman's slider, or the `vol' command in cdcontrol(1)) do work
for you?  This would mean my XM5701 has broken firmware.

I forgot to mention in the other posting that the Toshiba was on the
same bus with an Archive Python DAT drive which is known to be rather
fragile on the SCSI bus, at least with the ahc driver (but ISTR
reported problems with other drivers as well).  After a couple of bus
device resets for the Toshiba, i was totally unable to work with the
tape drive anymore (the driver complained about reconnects with no SCB
and other bogus things), so i quickly discarded the Toshiba, and
swapped my old Plextor single-speed drive back in.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
