VERY interresting, especially since HD-Driver 5.13 cannot seem
to find drives that were not present when the driver was installed.

For instance, I just added my old ST-157 through the TT's SCSI port
(changed the ID to #1) and rebooted. It's not detected, but if I 
try AHDI, it sees it fine.

So, mounting drives on the fly and requesting a re-scan of the SCSI
chain we be pretty neat indeed. ;-)
