The SCSI setup on our sd box (well, part of it) is like this:

sym0: <825> rev 0x2 at pci 0000:00:0a.0 irq 10
sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-10, SE, parity checking
sym0: SCSI BUS has been reset.
scsi0 : sym-2.1.18n
  Vendor: TANDBERG  Model: DLT8000           Rev: 0255
  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision: 02
 target0:0:2: Beginning Domain Validation
sym0:2: wide asynchronous.
 target0:0:2: Domain Validation skipping write tests
sym0:2: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s ST (100.0 ns, offset 8)
 target0:0:2: Ending Domain Validation

scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
        <Adaptec (Compaq OEM) 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
        aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs

(scsi1:A:3): 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit)

  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi tape st2 at scsi1, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
st2: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by HBA 1048575

Neither SCSI chipset has given us any problems, although we don't
exactly push them hard (the box can't!):

# cat /proc/cpuinfo

Lowest spec production sd out there, perhaps? :)
