I thought that the ability to run discs at different speeds was a selling
point for Adaptec (or is that only on U2W adapers?). I have an aic-7895
onboard a Tyan 1836DLUAN with a DGVS09U that runs at 40 MB/sec, a narrow
Quantum viking running at 20 MB/sec, and a Toshiba XM-3702TA CD-ROM
running at 4.4 MB/sec. So, at least for me, it seems that you can have a
variety of speeds on a single bus (all are connected to bus 0).
