I suspected that was be the case for the addressing, but I wanted to be sure I didn't just screw the pooch in the code... The SBP2 driver (firewire) definitely returns zeroes for everything. The reason I was asking was because it also assigns device names based on the order of replies which means that on a system with many devices of the same class the device names tend to change. I was looking for a way around that... In the case of these changers I use the serial numbers, but many devices do not have that so I was hoping for a more general purpose method...
As far as playing with it... I meant the version of the program that supports the changer, but I see I need to be specific around here to avoid the jokers. You got me though, I tend to be the one making the wise cracks, and it definitely feels different from the other side...
PS: If I donate again personally (I made company donations in the past) can I join the beta group...
