//		(int) trg		Target to start search from

//	RETURNS
//		(int) 			Target number of first SCSI device greater than
//						or equal to the specified starting number that
//						the sub-class can handle.  Returns -1 if no
//						appropriate device was able to be found.
//
//	EXPLANATION
//		This method starts at the specified target and sequentially steps
//		through the rest of the targets calling the isDevice: method for 
//		each target.  This method returns the number of the first target 
//		which responds TRUE to isDevice, or -1 if none responds TRUE. 
//		Remember that isDevice is over-ridden by sub-class implementations.
//		This means that for instances of the SCSI super class findDevice:
//		will return the number of the next valid SCSI target of any type; 
// 		for instances of a specific sub-class findDevice: will return the
//	 	number of the next device which that sub-class type recognizes.
