DESCRIPTION

20       The SCSI spec says that INQUIRY vendor, product, and revision strings
21       must consist entirely of graphic ASCII characters, padded on the right
22       with spaces. Since not all devices obey this rule, we will replace
23       non-graphic or non-ASCII characters with spaces. Exception: a NUL
24       character is interpreted as a string terminator, so all the following
25       characters are set to spaces.
