[PLUG] SCSI device driver

[Tomas Kuchta]

Yes, this would create soft link to /dev/sr1 and satisfy your application.
And so on...

These links might disappear at some point, but that would be easy to solve,
if it works for you.

No, I did not. try creating a soft link. I assume it would need to
point /dev/sg* to /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 (my optical drives).

ls -la /dev/sg*
crw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 21, 0 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg0
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 1 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg1
crw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 21, 2 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg2
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 3 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg3
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 4 Jan 23 16:34 /dev/sg4
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 5 Jan 26 23:00 /dev/sg5

I note that the /dev folder has sx zero byte files for sg0 - 5, plus
zero byte sr0 and sr1.
I assume the syntax should be ln -s /dev/sg0 /dev/sr0, and
ln -s /dev/sg2 /dev/sr1, right? Or do I have that backwards?
