I have a Ricoh RO-5030E2 magneto-optical drive that I would like to attach to
an SS20 running Solaris 2.4.  I was rather hoping that the OS would recognize
it and treat it like a disk drive.  Whilst probe-scsi sees it and reports
`Removable Device type 7' (which didn't look too hopful to me), the disk
configuration program doesn't see it and hence I don't have any rdsk device
for it.

Does anyone know how I can convince Solaris to talk to this drive?
