        !             4: The  COHERENT SCSI  series of  device drivers  lets you  use SCSI-interface
        !             5: devices attached to host adapters from several vendors.
        !             6: 
        !             7: All COHERENT  SCSI device  drivers use major  number 13, thus  allowing all
        !             8: SCSI  devices  to  be  accessed  via  standard  device-naming  conventions.
        !             9: Peripherals can be  accessed as either block- or character-special devices.
        !            10: The minor  number specifies the  device and partition  number for disk-type
        !            11: devices; this  allows the use of up to  eight SCSI identifiers (SCSI-ID's),
        !            12: with up  to four  logical unit  numbers (LUNs) per  SCSI-ID and up  to four
        !            13: partitions per LUN.  Tape and other special devices decode the minor number
        !            14: to perform special operations such as ``rewind on close'' or ``no rewind on
        !            15: close''.
        !            16: 
        !            17: The  first  ooppeenn call  on  a  SCSI disk  device  allocates  memory for  the
        !            18: partition table and reads it into memory.
