Hi all,

I'm running 2.2-STABLE as of around the 15th May, and I've just noticed
that there is still a limit of 32 SCSI CD-ROM devices built in somewhere.
Can anyone point me to where this is, and tell me whether it is easy to
change? I must admit, I thought I'd seen that this had already been
changed somewhere down the line, but perhaps it was in 3.0-current.

Also, MAKEDEV by default disallows any 'cd' device above 7 - is there a
good reason for this? I know it's easy enough to hack, but I was just
wondering why it had been set this way.

Keith.
