I have a machine running 5.2.1 with DUAL Adaptec 29160LP scsi cards. In the machine there are 2 U160 LVD scsi drives...one attached to each drive... I have an external SE tape drive that I have a cable for that I can attach to the 'extra' 29160 card port. If I hook it up to the card and then boot the machine, it is detected and runs fine :) If I forget, I hook it up later and then run 'camcontrol rescan all' and the tape drive is immediately picked up and works fine :) My question is, since I start out w/o the tape drive connected, I am running LVD with u160 speeds. Then I hook up the tape drive (run the command) and then want to disconnect the tape drive. I know the bus will slow down with the tape drive attached, but will it come back to normal speeds once I remove the tape drive? - and/or do I have to run the camcontrol command again?
