Can any ATAPI 'packet' command tell the host whether drive is actually ATAPI vs. SCSI ?

In working with ASPI device drivers, all devices are treated as SCSI devices.

Does anyone know whether there is any way for a device to indicate
to the host that it is <actually> SCSI vs. ATAPI ?

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