Getting more from the Sun4M ???

[Guenter Millahn <Guenter.Millahn@Informatik.TU-Cottbus.DE>]

Dear SPARC Debianers,

I have 2 hardware/driver requests regarding to a LX and a 10SMP:

1) Is it possible to run the SCSI connection with a higher speed?
   NCR53C9XF can (as I know ???) and the Harddisk is a 10MByte/s
   model from Seagate (others also tried)?
   ST1480 supports SCSI-2 (up to 10MB/s as far as I know)?

2) In the NetBSD/sparc doc I have found, that the Sun4m series
   contain the AMD Lance 7990 network chip (not seen in the LX ???)
   Does this chip supports 10MBit/s in full duplex mode?
   How anybody can configure it.

Here is a part from my dmesg output

esp0: IRQ 36 SCSI ID 7 Clk 40MHz CCF=8 TOut 167 NCR53C9XF(espfast)
