if you have no other SCSI devices on that host, the first thing i'd
check is the output from "lsmod", to see if there were SCSI drivers
loaded to handle this new "SCSI" device.

also, just for the fun of it, you can run "cdrecord -scanbus", which
tells you the SCSI devices it sees.

finally, if you can make a wild guess at what the device name would
be, try to "fdisk" that drive.
