Sorry I only really have more questions for you, as I don't think you
mentioned the answers to them in your first email:
1) Both devices are showing ANSI SCSI revision: 03, are they both supposed to
be U160 devices?
	a U160 dropping back to 3MB/s seems like there is a really big problem on
that bus.
2) do you have a physical terminator on the end of the first scsi bus, or have
told the last device (only device in your case) on that bus to do internal
termination?
3) do you have the correct scsi cable, that is, the cable connecting the
devices has the correct ends for both devices (no gender benders, or
extenders) and is rated for U160.
4) have you physically swapped the devices from bus to bus? (rule out a bad
connector on the card)
5) did you set the queue depth to 1 or did it drop back to that?
