Re: sym1:0: wide asynchronous

Hi,

there is a TI sync negotiation jumper. I thought the host adapter would initiate the negotiation. Maybe this feature only works on x86-Systems. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards,

I'm using the generic 2.6.10-Kernel on my AlphaStation 255/300. I boot 
from a disk which is connected to a additional SCSI-Controller 
(LSI8952U). When I look into dmesg it see the following lines:

sym1:0: wide asynchronous.

Because the async mode is used I only get 14MB/s. How can I set it to 
sync mode. I'm new to the Alpha and SCSI-world.
    

Isn't there a jumper at the harddisk to set the sync mode on/off?
