                     12: interface devices attached to host adapters from several vendors.
                     13: 
                     14: All  COHERENT  SCSI  device drivers  use  major  number 13,  thus
                     15: allowing  all SCSI  devices to be  accessed via  standard device-
                     16: naming conventions.  Peripherals can be accessed as either block-
                     17: or  character-special devices.   The minor  number  specifies the
                     18: device and  partition number  for disk-type devices;  this allows
                     19: the use  of up to eight SCSI identifiers  (SCSI-ID's), with up to
                     20: four  logical unit  numbers  (LUNs) per  SCSI-ID and  up to  four
                     21: partitions per  LUN.  Tape and  other special devices  decode the
                     22: minor number  to perform special  operations such as  ``rewind on
                     23: close'' or ``no rewind on close''.
                     24: 
                     25: The first  ooppeenn call on  a SCSI disk device  allocates memory for
                     26: the partition table and reads it into memory.
