Hi Chris,
Thanks for the response!

Preferably user-level.

I've read these now (thanks for the pointer), and also consulted the
example code, but I'm still confused. The problem for me is that this all
seems geared towards CD/DVD authoring and authoring-capable devices. For
my application authoring doesn't matter. All I "need" to do is send a
small subset of the MMC-2 commands to the drive to access an audio CD. I
have had some success creating an MMCDeviceInterface, but that really
doesn't help me because I can't obtain exclusive access from
SCSITaskDeviceInterface. Even if I could, I'm not sure how that would
help me because I really don't want to send raw SCSI tasks. I still don't
understand enough about IOServiceGetMatchingServices to know which key to
pass in to try and get an IOSCSIMultimediaCommandsDevice.
