Correction. Any SCSI controller can have 7 devices attached to it. These
days most drives are set to LUN0, but theoretically any of the SCSI "devices"
can be seperately addressed at different LUN numbers giving a real maximum
of up to 56 units. 7 is the normal practical maximum with "normal" equipment.
