Being that this is an optical drive, you can't use the expedient of
writing something identifiable onto the media.

Which begs the question that's been on my mind since this thread started:

Since this is removable optical media, why are you trying to identify
the drive, rather than the media inserted into the drive?

I need to identify the drive in order to determine (and store) the drive's read offset. To preempt your next question: I need to do this to accurately access CDDA in a device-independent manner. :)
