Can anyone tell me, how fast these disks should be:
qlogicisp : new isp1020 revision ID (5)
scsi0 : QLogic ISP1020 SCSI on PCI bus 01 device 20 irq 27 I/O base 0x9000
scsi : 1 host.
Vendor: DEC Model: RZ2CC-KB (C) DEC Rev: DC2B
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

Does not it has CMD646 controller?

only 8bit? uhh...

Or may be 4D20, without 'T'. X works on it just fine.
