I don't
The problem he is reporting is also on the SCSI side. Now two things have changed over time
#1 The 2.4 scsi driver (Justin's notably so) is more aggressive than 2.0 ever was about speeds. It will pick Ultra80 or Ultra160 if the bus appears capable and the drives do. The old 2.0 code probably never picked anything more enterprising than 20Mhz.
That does mean that marginal termination will show up when it was apparently ok both in Linux and in older windows which was also generally rather conservative
#2 Its a newer driver. aic7xxx_old is the driver we used to use and trying that might be informative too.
