Ouch.  I guessed soooo wrong.  I see already we connect automagically
only with devices that claim compliance to a published standard.  Good
to hear, thank you.  Starting again now:

I hear you saying we're talking SCSI to our failing Sony stick only
because we patched unusual_devs.h?

When we patch unusual_devs.h to say to talk to this Sony stick, how
about we simultaneously patch in a flag to say don't talk mode sense to
it?

As you can see, by now I see only the principle that we can see sd
doesn't yet quite Talk Like Windows.  I've lost track of why
specifically now we believe sd has an issue we should fix.  

Help?
