It's obviously not true, as I have one here in a Soyo motherboard. 8) The Asus SC200 works fine, and has active termination onboard, unlike all of the other cheapo 810 boards I've seen, which have passiver termination.

Can anyone suggest >something I could do to fix the situation? Perhaps the scsi disk is inherently slower for the type of work given to it by ftp. This is not unlikely, since ftp's writes are poorly buffered and scsi disks often have a very high command overhead. ktracing ftp here showed the following sequence of write sizes: ..., 0x5a0, 0x10e0, 0x2760, 0xb40, 0x5a0, 0x10e0, 0x2760, 0x1c20, ... The speed over ethernet (WD8013EBT) for ftp'ing a 15MB file to a slow scsi disk and to /dev/null were the same (about 440K/sec, probably limited by the slow IDE disk on the server). This was faster than for ftp'ing from localhost and the same speed as cp'ing from the same file system in some cases (cases where the buffer cache cannot help and where clustering is apparently ineffective).

As I mentioned, I've also run iozone while ftping a huge file to /dev/null, and the iozone results are within 100kps of the normal speeds, however the network speed plummets to 200kps.

I just ftp'd to localhost, and got 745kps reading and writing to the same scsi disk and 1.29MB/s writing to /dev/null. I feel that it's definitely a conflict between the 3c509 and the adaptech.
