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 -- Charles Sebold 29th of Sivan, 5761 -- LISA: "Only one person in a million would find that funny."
