I've been too lazy to look there. :)

Anyway, as long as one couldn't get it to work with `scsi -e', i'm
afraid the code in the kernel won't work neither.

Oh well :), i just wanted to provide a quick'ndirty hack for
experimenting, but had to find that it's already there in mt(1)!  If
it works, the only patch that will be needed is to remove the line
``(Not yet implemented.)'' from the man page. ;-)

So folx, try it!

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