It should not really see that it is running at 2x 83 MHz instead of 2x 66
MHz, so you should be able to run at at least at 2x 83 MHz. Which is much
better of course than 2.5x 66 MHz because the whole system is faster.

I'd stay away from this kind of drive for the moment, too new and probaly
hotter than 7200 rpm. A NCR based card is really cheap now and older drives
at 5400 rpm are cheaper too. Anyway, I understand your problem WRT money :-)

My own drives are good 5400 rpm drives, one IBM DORS 32160 and a Conner
CFP1080S. Giving each drive a controller helps too. You can buy 2x NCR for
much less than one Adaptec :-)
