Hello! > Please explain me: > > - how to use /dev/hd* in order to scan an image from a scanner > - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a CPU device > - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a tape device > - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a printer > - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a jukebox > - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a graphical device Nobody speaks about using /dev/hd* for all that, just about that there always will be a /dev/something corresponding to the device. Also, as you have mentioned /dev/hd*, it seems that you consider all these devices connected over ATAPI. Again an exercise in mythical zoology as in the ATAPI tape example.
