If it doesn't say "LVD" or "SE/LVD", that is why your bus is dropping down to "Ultra SCSI" speeds. If you really want to run at U320 speeds, you should buy a U320 rated cable and terminator. U160 cables are rarely up to snuff for U320. On other potential culpret is any backplane connected to the cable. Some backplanes are only SE and will force the whole bus to operate in that mode. -- Justin
