Hello!

The ViPowER USB-IDE enclosure based on the SMCS chipset does not work
with 2.4.x kernels (tested with 2.4.26) when used with ATAPI devices
(like a DVD-RW drive).  However, it works with 2.4.x when used with an
IDE disk; it also works with 2.6.10 with IDE or ATAPI devices.

Why add a flag for limiting to 252? Couldn't some devices want 251?

Wouldn't we want to instead either
A) Backport the new (36-byte) INQUIRY command to 2.4

  OR

B) Make the flag support 36-byte INQUIRY

The logic behind B being that if it doesn't like 255, it should like 36 definitely.

Just my thoughts.
