It could well be the problem.  The kernel uses READ(10) if the starting
LBA is small enough (<= 0xffffffff); otherwise it uses READ(16).  In
this case the starting LBA was 0.

Most likely that's the answer.  Of course, for a device to recognize 
READ(16) but not READ(10) is a violation of the SCSI spec.

I don't know what criterion Windows uses.  Maybe it uses READ(16)  
whenever the total capacity is >= 2^32 blocks.
