That's sorta ``common wisdom''. I remember this discussion (also here in the computer magazines) when the 154xC appeared. They've got some timing much more aggressive than they used to have.

I normally don't trust a SCSI cable of less than USD 50 or so... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
