I have been configuring my kernel for 10MB/s for some time now, and it
seems to work OK at full speed for the four internal drives in my
Power Mac 8600/250:
scsi0 : MESH
mesh: target 0 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
Vendor: QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL ST4300S Rev: 0F0D
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
mesh: target 2 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST34520N Rev: 1498
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
mesh: target 3 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
Vendor: MATSHITA Model: CD-ROM CR-8024 Rev: 2.0e
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: J.03
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Now, the external bus is recognized separately and that of course only
runs at 5 MB/s:
scsi1 : 53C94
Vendor: GENERIC Model: CD-R CRD-R800S Rev: 1.20
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 250 Rev: H.41
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
