Thanks for finding this. If all users were able to fix their problems alone,
that would be great :-)

FYI:
The mmc command set is defined in the SCSI-3 MMC2 draft specs.
Obviously the Hitachi does not identify itself correctly as MMC-compatible.
I will add it to the exception list...
Should be fixed in the next release.

Thanks again,
