I'm seeing 13-14MB/s on my PC164 with the onboard controller. ad0: 98166MB [199450/16/63] at ata0-master tagged WDMA2 ad1: 98166MB [199450/16/63] at ata1-master tagged WDMA2 The machine is running -current, but I don't think this should make a factor 3 difference. > Incidentally, does anyone have a listing of third-party > aftermarket SCSI controllers that get along with SRM?
