Hmm.. that is true. But mostly I work with xterms, which I can make as big
as I like. 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.

Groetjes,
