If 1394 PWG chooses “connections over multiple LUNs”, does new Mac OS
support device discovery which has a configuration ROM shown below?
UnitDir --->[ LUN0, LUN1, LUN2, …]
And may our driver invoke “Login(s)” to each LUN separately?
Does Mac OS register each LUN as a separated entity in the name registry?
Thank you,
