I want to check whether a cdrom node under /dev actually exists.

Well, the *node* exists if "-e $path_to_node" returns true. Do you
also care if there is an actual drive there or if there's a readable
drive in the disc?

I'm assuming linux behaviour, here.


In which case reading 'files' like /proc/ide/hdc/model might help.
