If you set it to asynchronous transfers, yes. Otherwise, it's 40MBps synchronous. > -2- 15 devices under DOS... would it be more under FreeBSD ? is > there also a limitation on total size that I would get (15*36Go or > 15*9Go, for eg) ? It's a limitation of the SCSI bus. You can put up to 15 devices (including the host adapter) on it. > -3- do I have to take special care ?

Make sure you have proper termination at the end of the SCSI bus, and good quality cable. -- Juha Take off every sig!
