qscan - console tool for quality measurement of optical media

       qscan  is the linux console tool for error correction measuring with optical devices.  The related plugin
       allows one to use vendor specific commands on your optical device.  Currently supported vendors are Asus,
       Benq,    Liteon,    NEC,    Pioneer    and    Plextor.     For    detailed    information     look     at
       http://qpxtool.sourceforge.net/supported.html

       can  be  an IDE, SCSI, SATA, USB or FireWire connected optical drive. Not all SATA controller support all
       Plextor features.

       Linux:/dev/hdX: IDE device
       /dev/scdX: Linux 2.4: SATA, SCSI, USB device, or IDE device via ide-scsi emulation
       /dev/srX: Linux 2.6: IDE device via new ATA layer, SCSI or USB device

       OpenBSD/NetBSD:/dev/rcdXFreeBSD:/dev/cd: SCSI device
       /dev/acd: ATA device

qscan-l
                 scan all buses for available optical devices

       qscan-d/dev/sr2-S
                 Show available speed steps of device /dev/sr2.

       qscan-d/dev/sr2-terrc-s5
                 Proceed an error correction scan on device /dev/sr2 with 5x speed.

       qscan-d/dev/sr0-twt-s12
                 Proceed a write performance test in simulation mode on device /dev/sr0 (dummy  mode)  with  12x
       speed
