+These devices can be SCSI disks, in which case @command{sdparm}'s role is

+designed for ATA disks. However, @command{sdparm} can be used to access
+parameters on any device that uses a SCSI command set. Such devices
+include CD/DVD drives (irrespective of transport), SCSI and ATAPI tape
+drives, and SCSI enclosures. A small set of commands associated with
+starting and stopping the media, loading and unloading removable media
+and some other housekeeping functions can also be sent with this utility.")
