That's not what I'm seeing, though -- I get messages saying that the
CDROM driver is found at scsi0, id X, LUN 0, where X is 0 thru' 7
excluding 6, which is the actual SCSI id of the CD-ROM drive.
I can't help thinking about the floppy disk change sense line and it's
inverted logic and wondering if there is something similar with the
SCSI host adaptor.
