Ok, thanks. In particular, it seems to be pointless to read anything past 
byte 20 - nothing past there is even defined.

What's the general sense of things - for a random SCSI device with bugs 
(and they all have _some_ sort of bugs, let's not just rain on USB here), 
is it saner to try to read just the bytes we need (3 bytes: page code, 
page size and the cache bits), or the full 20 bytes?
