My old SCSI-II draft (1993...) says both READ(6) and READ(10) are mandatory for direct access media (i.e. hard disks). For CD-ROM drives READ(6) is optional and READ(10) is mandatory. Removing all READ(6) code from sr.c should'nt break anything.
So the only device where you have to use READ(6) are probably pre-scsi2 harddisks (which havn't enouth space for a current unpacked kernel source tree...)
