I hope it _never_ will be included as that version! What is actually
needed is _with separatete options_ (a) the choice of reading TOC in
different ways, (b) forcing the read command, but that also to be
something _secure_. With these it is possible to do some 'probing' if a
modern SCSI or SCSI-emulated drive goes astray.
