Though, the /dev/whatever part beside the /media/whatever is the
information you want to play with.
Yes, I figured as much.

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?
