If it mounts, even if not working well, you could see what's mounted where by typing "mount" into the command line.

Yes! /media/scd0
Though, the /dev/whatever part beside the /media/whatever is the information you want to play with.
Yes, I figured as much.
What about the hardware browser?
I can't seem to find it. It's certainly not in my Kmenu, and going through all that "locate browser" returned didn't lead me to it. What's the command to launch it?
Just "hwbrowser", it's probably not installed by default. There's a HAL browser, as well, that provides even more information.
Yummed it in. Turns out that the drive is a TS-L632D. Googling it leads me to believe that the drive is IDE, so the solutions provided here do not apply. But why is it mounted as /dev/s*** if it's IDE? I thought that was reserved for SATA devices.
How does one enable DMA on an IDE drive, assuming that he knows it's mounted on /dev/scd0?
