You could easily count the number of handshake timeouts in the driver and make the interval a multiple of what the NCR supports. I don't see the value of a handshake timeout anyway since the SCSI spec doesn't place any lower bounds on communication speed, and you should be using the timeout value that was passed down to you in the scsi_xfer struct as an overall timeout value. >Please let me know, whether this helps ... > >Regards, STefan > >-- > Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 > Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 > ============================================================================= >= > http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se -- Justin T.
