Hi,
Re: Anybody know why I'm not getting 160MB transfers ?
It might interest people to know the end story -
After much fiddling around with cables/terminators, banning
the SCSI-2 devices(DVD + DAT) to their own adapter and updating
every piece of BIOS firmware in sight, I was still getting nowhere.
So, (deep think) I threw a vanilla 2.4.19 onto the machine and
LO and BEHOLD, I'm getting 160MB transfers!
Well (hope Dave Jones is listening!,), it seems as though
the Suse 8.1 kernel 2.4.19 has (yet another) problem.

Cheers
