   A user brought my an external 40 MB Hard Disk yesterday which she said
   "wouldn't work". After using various SCSI tricks I got the dosk to
   mount. It replicated itself 6 times on the desktop? It wouldn't mount
   my internal drive, so I still have to figure out how to get both
   drives up in order to get the data off and then reformat. Just want to
   check with Virus-L people whether this behaviour has ever been seen
   and whether it conforms to any descriptions of ugh, virus thanks,
   
If a disk's SCSI ID is set to 7 (same as the host), the disk responds
at every SCSI ID (0-6) because the initiator asserts both addresses.
So, you'll see such a disk seven times on the desktop.
