I never looked it up specifically, but it's pretty obvious from looking at 
the SCSI protocol specs that the addressing and bus mastering and such works 
by pulling down zeros and letting ones float. Hence the "SCSI Priority" 
being the LUN and having "0" always be the host.  It's a pretty common way 
of working a shared bus, from ISDN to those one-wire protocol capsules.
