Hmm. I, too, would have liked these drives to show as two LUNs. My Creative DVD-RAM does not.
I am using a patch of similar type to Rogier's, which I presume is likewise descended from the Japanese MO patch. His is much nicer than mine and seems to cover the Creative, so I will soon take to using his.
Anyway, the upshot is that the Creative, at least, does not ship in a config which shows is as two LUNs. I believe (but have no proof yet) that the Creative drive is a rebadged Panasonic LD-101F(?). I'd love it to show as two LUNs! -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 cs@zip.com.au http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/
