Maybe it could be an option? -w for wide maybe? =) Maybe the msps could be skipped for scsi-disks? Ide can only handle 4 anyhow, and (at least for me) those columns are always 0. So maybe it could detect that for sd* it could skip msps and show more drives? I think I'll study the code some more and try to patch it to do that, atleast for myself I think it would be useful.
