Well, there seem to be a number of drives 
that don't like probing higher LUN numbers,
and there was not much need for them, until
now ...

The driver deals correctly with LUNs, and 
you should be able to just increase the 
MAX_LUN parameter. This should really be 
controlled from the generic SCSI code, and 
I have got ot admit, that I don't remember
why it is not implemented that way, currently.
(There is some extra RAM required per LUN, but 
this should not be much of a problem ...)


If somebody sends me such a drive, I'll make 
sure it works! (Well, it's Christmas time :)
