I can't speak on 2.X, but 3.X supports them just fine. I should note that
my experience with multiple LUN's has been limited to a CD drive.

Yes. I have been using a 7 CD changer for some time with no problems.
They come up as cd0 through cd6. I have used with with both Adaptec and
NCR controllers.

Since, you don't mention what kind of multiple LUN device you are talking
