BUGS
Not all operating systems support interfaces to various pieces of
information that sysinfo supports.
Some devices, mostly devices that use
removable media such as
tape drives and floppy disks, are only indicated (shown) as
present if media is loaded in the device and it's on-line.
This occurs because the OS does not provide a software
interface to query the device when media is not loaded.
