cdrecord -scanbus shows incorrect device (external USB CD-RW)
 
I am not sure what the cause of this is. I have attached a Micro Solutions, Inc. Backpack external CD-RW USB device to my Linux server. I installed the driver from the Micro solutions website. Hotplug identifies the correct manufacturer code (0x0ac9).

Here's the output of:

Code:

[root@localhost etc]# cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1
  Host scsi1: usb-storage
      Vendor: Micro Solutions
      Product: Micro Solutions BACKPACK
Serial Number: None
    Protocol: Transparent SCSI
    Transport: Bulk
        GUID: 0ac910ff0000000000000000
    Attached: Yes

and
Code:

[root@localhost etc]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0ac9:10ff

BUT... (and this is a total mystery...)
Code:

[root@localhost etc]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: MITSUMI  Model: CR-487ETE        Rev: 001J
  Type:  CD-ROM                          ANSI SCSI revision: 02

AND...
Code:

[root@localhost etc]# cdrecord --scanbus

aaah! what gives? why isnt my scsi device and my usb-storage device the same?

so how can I change my SCSI information to match the actual device?

What's the prob? I'm guessing Mitsumi make the drive mechanism and Micro Solutions the packaging and USB interface, and different bits respond to different protocol requests.

Are there any difficulties in using the device?
