If it does not work this way, there is a bug in the kernel code.
Something appears wrong, indeed.
The /proc tree seems truncated.
Possibly the user's kernel was configured without the
"legacy /proc/scsi support" feature being enabled?

Thanks! Makes good sense.
I ran into a very interesting result while trying this feature
out, using my IDE/ATAPI drive under SCSI emulation. The first
CD I tried reported some C2 errors:

Ummm... as of cdrtools 1.11a06, the "c2scan" option is not
documented in the man page for "readcd", or any of the other
man pages, or in any of the AN* announcement files. The
only place it's mentioned, as far as I can tell, is in the
"readcd --help" output.
Hence, "RTFM" is an answe

A test on my Plextor 1210 worked fine - the -dao mode worked without
requiring the use of any of the raw modes.
A test on my Ricoh MP6201S failed:
