I had this exact drive on my Amiga for a long time. I never got
it at multiple LUNs. I then moved it to my Sun3/260, and it showed
up at multiple LUNs. A Quantum Lightning 730 also shows up at multiple
LUNs.
At the time I suspected that there was a glitch in the Sun3 SCSI driver.
I still do, because when the drive shows up at multiple LUNs, for some of
them I get an "illegal request". Or the geometry shows zero surfaces.
Or it doesn't show up at all LUNs. It seems to depend on which device I
boot from, although I have not nailed this dependency down.
Right now I am reworking the Sun3 SCSI driver, and I will be paying
attention to this problem. The Sparc esp driver apparently does the same
thing.
hmm:
splode ~# dmesg | egrep 'esp|sd'

this is netbsd/sparc current about 2 weeks ago.
i've not had any problems with this drive since i got it several months
ago.
