[comp.sys.mac.hardware] getting hard disk SCSI address

Several people have told me you can find out the SCSI address of a
hard disk by selecting the disk icon and using Get Info.  This doesn't
always work, however.  If I select my internal hard disk and invoke
the Get Info command it tells me "Rodime hard disk" instead of "SCSI 0".

I am curious how this works.  I am guessing that the manufacturer stores
its name in the disk drive's ROM and the Get Info command will only show
the SCSI address if the drive name is absent.  Am I right?
