A few people need [more snippage] That's probably what I wanted to know in my original post. My Syquest drive has buggy firmware and will happily negotiate synchronous transfers even though it hangs the bus if taken up on the offer. This was not an issue with the 5.1.0pre5 version. Using the 5.1.4 driver, it would end up in synchronous mode, even if sync negotiation was disabled for the device in the hostadapter BIOS. So I hacked the driver to leave it in async and (originally) wanted to know if (1) maybe a further revision of the driver addresses the problem or (2) someone could have a look at my (crude) patch and tell me how to do it right So I guess I'll wait for the 5.1.5 driver and check my mileage again.
