I've tested the driver with Linux 2.1.123 on an Asus P2B-LS and it seems to
work. What makes me wonder is that during the boot process the driver claims
running with 80 Mbyte synchronous:

4>scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.0pre13/3.2.4
<4> <Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter>
<4>scsi : 1 host.
<4>scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 1, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun
0
0x12 00 00 00 ff 00
<4>SCSI host 0 abort (pid 1) timed out - resetting
<4>SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
<6>(scsi0:0:0:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.
<4> Vendor: IBM Model: DGHS09V Rev: 03C0
<4> Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03

If i take a look into /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0, i see

Statistics:
(scsi0:0:0:0)
Device using Wide/Async transfers.
^ ^ ^ ^
Device Negotiation Settings
Period Offset Bus Width
User 000 000 1
Goal 000 000 1
Current 000 000 1
Total transfers 3595 (3370 read;225 written)
blks(512) rd=16267; blks(512) wr=654

So, what is the REAL transfer mode? 80 Mbyte/s synchronous or 20 MByte/s or
less asynchronous?

BTW: Doug should clean up his patch for 2.1.123. I've got a rejection for hunk
219 and had to clean up manually.

Greetings

Michael
