I got this from my Apple SC CD-ROM drive

stout# disk -s /dev/rsd1a
NOTE: This device's block size (2048) is too big to coerce to DEV_BSIZE (1024).
You won't be able to use it with software versions earlier than Release 3.0.
disk name: SONY CD-ROM CDU-8002
disk type: removable_rw_scsi
stats: invalid request for type removable_rw_scsi

So indeed it is a rw scsi device (NOT)...  I wouldn't mind knowing
what the deal is...  Seems like your drive and mine are similiar.  Is
yours a 541-22 (or something like that) mechanism...?  I hate to say
this, but mines works and works well...
