I'll bet that he'd find it by actually bothering to read his dmesg
like he was told to, since all the devices the kernel found and the
interfaces that they're connected to are enumerated there.  Wow, the
devices are even there by NAME!

dell $ dmesg | grep ata..0
ata1.00: ATA-7: WDC WD5000AAKS-00TMA0, 12.01C01, max UDMA/133
ata1.00: 976773168 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32)
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata2.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp DVD+/-RW TS-H653A, D500, max UDMA/33

But that's just me.
