Of > > course I need the full capabilities of my new drives and adapter :) dmesg's output shows max throughput; 40.0MB/s. Note that the cycle timing is listed at 50 ns, which would mean a bus frequency of 20Mhz. NCRcontrol's "max" column is the bus frequency; 20Mhz. Multiply that by 16 bits per operation, and you get 40MB/sec. At least that's what it looks like from here. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
