Jim,
I believe you'll find in the return inquiry data a field called 'Response
Data Format'. This is where I've seen the communications protocal, i.e.
SCSI-2, ATAPI, etc. Hope this helps.

|In working with ASPI device drivers, all devices are treated

|
|The INQUIRY command might be a logical means, but there does not seem
|to be any indication in its specification.
