Select is used by SCSI I implementations which connect to a device and 
then send the SCSI command.

Select with ATN is mandated by SCSI II and should cause the target to 
perform a message out phase.  The initiator should then send an IDENTIFY 
message followed by any other messages it wants to send.

I suggest you use select-with-ATN and send out a proper IDENTIFY 
message.  This allows your driver to select the proper LUN it wants to 
talk to, since the LUN does not seem to be provided properly in the 
command with the current mid-level SCSI drivers.
