George,

Thanks for the reply.  Now just to make sure I understand...

So it would be valid for an SCC device to return in the LUN list logical
unit numbers that follow the SCC addressing methods.  For example, when a
REPORT LUNS command is sent to the base address of the SCC device one of 
the LUN reported in the LUN list may be:
   
   0x40 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

This would be the logical unit number for volume 3.  Correct?


Thanks,
Ron Gould
