I don't know.  Presumably they do provide useful information for some 
devices, but I'm not aware of what that information is -- you'd have to 
ask the SCSI people.

What I really had in mind was whether a 96-byte inquiry provides any 
benefit for USB mass-storage devices.  Again, I don't know the answer.
