Thanks for the quick response, Carlos!  Unfortunately, this command
gives me only the /dev/sdX device file.  But sg_start don't work on
this.  sg_start wants to operate on the "generic scsi device" /dev/sgY.
Please notice, there is the 'g' instead of 'd' in the device name and
the sg devices have a number attached instead of a letter.
