Adding aic7xxx=ultra to lilo's append= options gets me

scsi0: Target 0, channel A, now synchronous at 20.0MHz, offset 15.
  Vendor: SEAGATE   Model: ST32155N          Rev: 0318
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02 

Better than being synch at 10.0MHz. :)  This is with an AHA2940U.  The
option isn't documented, I think, but is present in the options struct
in aic7xxx.c.

Re: tagged queueing.  I've been running with it enabled and
CMS_PER_LUN set to 8 for a couple of months with no problems.
However, someone else has posted here saying that data corruption
occurs if you use more than one drive with those settings.

Anyone have any definitive info on this?

PS: Does the yggdrasil list gateway work in both directions?  Mail CC
added just in case.
