Hey, I use SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE in the packet writing stuff for CD-ROM's
all the time :-). Not all are read-only. In fact, Peter Osterlund
discovered that if you have pending writes on the CD-ROM it's a really
good idea to sync the cache prior to starting reads or they have a nasty
tendency to time out.
