When I looked at this around 2.6.22, I found that esp_scsi would always negotiate sync transfers if the target supported that. PIO cannot do sync transfers, so I had to modify esp_scsi in order that the chip's Synchronous Offset register was set to zero (asynch). > You can hide it completely your ->irq_pending() handler.

I'll look into it.
