Heck, if you used an SCSI reader specially configured to read it like a DVD, could you read one too?

I guess this isn't so easy like this... The laser may be flexible but does it support the calibration needed to burn DVDs? and I think that the writer needs to recognize the DVD-ROM as a valid media to burn which won't happen as it cannot read from it. It just won't be able to retrieve the dvd's information (like total space, media type and so on)
I'm asking myself what do you call a "SCSI reader specially configured to read it like a DVD" ? Would this modification on the hardware? I don't think just software will do it. Maybe with some internal modifications but you may end up building a whole dvd reader just replacing stuff from your cd-reader
(I really don't the only thing that matters when reading a disk is the laser...)
If anyone ever heard of a cd-reader mod for dvd reading let me know about it
