I think part of the problem is that unlike the typical disk interface, where there is some idea of bus-and-unit-number or index number that it makes sense to expose to users, these "miscellaneous storage" devices don't have any particular index concept -- in the real hardware there are just a random set of devices that are connected in various places. So you're requiring users to look up the documentation for "index 0 is this eeprom, index 1 is that other eeprom, index 2 is ...". thanks -- PMM
