Hmmm, 

OK, I misspoke, it seems.

16-byte CDBs do not get to our device at all. We are trying to figure
out why.

Thank you for that sage piece of advice.

We already use GPT on our devices under Vista and Mac OS X.

We have tracked down the problem. The USB Mass Storage layer in Linux
does not support 16-byte CDBs, it seems. They get stamped with a length
of 12 and are sent as short commands over USB, which we were issuing an
ABORT to.

We have fixed that by the simple expedient of handling short READ
CAPACITY(16) requests in our device. However, READ(16) and WRITE(16)
requests are a problem :-)
