Subject:   Adaptec refusing WIDE negotiation.

My new UW SCSI HD is quite noisy and not particularly fast
when reading/writing even the smallest of files. 
Checking dmesg, I see that the adaptec driver "refuses 
WIDE negotiation". Does this mean that I may as well be using
an IDE HD ? Is there anything that can be done about it ?

dmesg output below :

ahc0 <Adaptec aic7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 14 on pci0:15:0
ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs
ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
(ahc0:0:0): "WDIGTL WDE4360-1807A3 1.80" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 4095MB (8388314 512 byte sectors)
ahc0:A:5: refuses WIDE negotiation.  Using 8bit transfers
(ahc0:5:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:465 1.03" type 5 removable SCSI 2



Thank you,

chas
