Why did you do that? In SCSI-1 the only way to access LUNs is specifying them
in the command, SCSI-2 did allow both procedurese but preferred the identify
solution. All SCSI-1 Drives must be accessed with the LUN present in the
command. If we don't do this, we are broken, or else we should state "no
fully compliant SCSI-1 support".
