The W-LUN route is only viable if we can find a way of making it work for everything (and that includes USB). The spec also says in 8.3.1.7 [Verifying access rights] "If an INQUIRY command is addressed to a LUN for which there is no matching LUN value in any LUACD in any ACE allowing the initiator port logical unit access rights, the standard INQUIRY data (see 6.4.2) PERIPHERAL DEVICE TYPE field shall be set to 1Fh and the PERIPHERAL QUALIFIER field shall be set to 011b (i.e., the device server is not capable of supporting a device at this logical unit)." That means our current LUN0 probe should work just fine.
