Hi,

I have a very strange problem. I have a MSI 6120 Dual CPU board with an
on-board 7895 dual SCSI controller. I have two identical IBM drives and
connected them to the first UW channel. da0 target 0 lun 0 displays it is
capable of doing 40MB/s. da1 target 1 lun 0 is only able to do 11.626 MB/s.

I've checked the termination. The last drive on the cable is terminated, the
other isn't. The on-board scsi is configured to automatic. Switching it to
manual and enable termination doesn't help either. Changed the SCSI cable.
Didn't help. Changed the order on the SCSI bus and the corresponding
termination. Doesn't help. Checked the throughput; da1 was indeed slower
than da0. Checked the BIOS setting - identical.

Swapped da1 with another drive. This worked fine. The scsi-id was
accidentally jumpered to 2, but i like it to be contiguous so i changed to
target 1. 11.626MB/s again!!!! That doesn't make any sense. Original drive
back in on target 2. This works too!!! Back to target 1 and again
11.626MB/s. I have tried target 3, which works as well.

How come target 1 is reporting the wrong speed. My SCSI bios is rev. 2.11

I have a work-around, but how is this possible?

Peter
