I think maybe one is a raw SCSI device and one is not, but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone out there can clear this up for us. :-)
Nope.. After poking around a bit here is what I see... They are the same device right, not raw or other, because the have the same major/minor #.. Looks like some distros use /dev/scd0 and some call it /dev/sr0.. look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt and check it out.. Regardless, they are the first SCSI cdrom..
