I've read your last posting about this, but forgot to follow up.  TUR is
supposed to fail if ATAPI device doesn't have media loaded.  TUR fails
and sense data returns device not ready - media not present.  That's the
normal operation.  Does TUR fail even with media loaded or is sense data
not properly fetched?
