Following is output from 3 machines:

hwinfo --cdrom:
http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/hwinfocdrom-big31.txt
http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/hwinfocdrom-fi965.txt
http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/hwinfocdrom-gx270.txt

/proc/scsi:
http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/scsi-big31.txt
http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/scsi-fi965.txt
http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/scsi-gx270.txt

In all 3's hwinfo output, the OM device is reported to be on IDE interface,
which for at least one of the three is an outright lie (AD-7200S is SATA). I
didn't know all to start with, which is why the question, though I do now
know from seeing these particular model numbers.

Ignoring whatever information can be discovered or inferred from device model
numbers or names, how can one determine whether a device is connected to a
PATA port or an SATA port? Is there something from cmdline better than hwinfo
or /proc/scsi to find this out? Would use of a PATA to SATA or vice versa
converter produce an erroneous report?
