I'm SCSI!! No, I'm USB!! (who am I??)

I have a system here that has 12 USB slots in it. When I insert 12 USB
drives in it, I see 12 SCSI devices appear in /proc/partitions (sd[a-l]1).
I also see 12 USB devices appear in /proc/bus/usb/devices, with correct
data in them. All is well and good, except...

I don't know how to figure out which SCSI device is in which slot!! Is
there some way to correlate between the SCSI and USB information, so that I
can (for example), copy files from slot C to slot G reliably?? I'm very
confused!!
