Yes, all that is used. I really think there should have been a common generic device type (Scsi limited to 0x1F-1 devices and has been enough (not really that many, a device that is attachable or not, a device who's media is removable or part of the device, having up to 4 billion device "types" would have more than been enough - could have been registered/listed in the UEFI spec). I see Michale has a work around, but you really can't see the device "type" without having to send low level commands to the device on a bus. May be nice to have one more attribute magnetic, optical or electronic media. Something like a UDF may be partitioned or may not be. Also what about DVD writers with packet formatted media, is that still read-only? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
