speed of a ciss-based pseudo-disk

Scott, I'm asking about a nominal number. If my controller can not talk
to the attached drives at U320 and negotiates down to lower speeds, I'd
like to know about it.

No "speed testers" need to be written for nominal numbers. That, sort
of, is the whole point of something being _nominal_. It does not need to
be measured, it is (usually) simply written somewhere or easily deduced
from something else.

If, as Paul Saab responded, even the nominal number is unobtainable for
HP/Compaq arrays -- fine. The driver's output confused me, so I asked
about its meaning.

I don't see, how this question is relevant, but yes, if the cable sold
to me as a U320 is only capable of U160, I certainly will ask for my
money back.

How do you know?

Do you, actually, see _value_ in your two responses in this thread so
far? I'm sure you were trying to help...
