$ SCSI_INFO == "$ SYS$ETC:SCSI_INFO.EXE"

$ SCSI_INFO DQA0

"Product Revision Level" may be the datum you
seek.

Ask its maker what the latest version is?

Disclose a bit of useful info, like the
drive's maker and model?

How would I know? There does seem to be this
"Internet" thing, however. Apparently
(Google), it's something to do with Hitachi
and Lucky Goldstar.

I gather that A203 (at least) exists for the
GSA-4082B:

I'd advise a Web search for possible key words.
