I don't know what you mean by this. It's not a question of whether the behavior being accomodated is conformant or nonconformant to a standard. The question is whether the accomodations controlled by the "STANDARD_ATAPI" macro can easily be implemented in sr_mod. Since the accomodations are translating a couple of numbers that are repeseneted as binary coded decimal instead of integers (0-255) on some drives, and sending a slightly different SCSI command to change discs on a Sanyo three CD changer, it seems that they can easily be implemented in sr_mod.

From you email address, I would guess that English is not your first language. While you do write English very well, I think you made a mistake in understanding what I siad. "It should be easy to have sr_mod accomodate those drives" means that it would be easy for someone to write code in the near future to do this (that is, to change sr_mod.c). It does not mean that it has already been done.
