Why should I? It should be sufficient to know that I want to address my
CD-ROM (or the first CD-ROM if I have multiple drives). Why do *I* have to
know the exact ID?
I agree that a program should be able to communicate on a low-level basis by
specifying a SCSI address/LUN, but I don't see why this should be the
primary interface a user is confronted with.
