Requiring "pass through SCSI" for a CD burner violates the UNIX
philosophy that everything is a file (which implies that reading and
writing data be implemented, where possible, through the read and write
system calls rather than through special interfaces specific to a device
type).
So does requiring SCSI bus numbers rather than device filenames.
