Well, If that other dude (was it you?) tells me how to get some new bios
(1.23 or better apparently) for controller and I can boot cd then I tell
you if I can duplicate the slow speed. my comp and scsi cd slow though
so it be slow anyway. Might show you some performance tricks if I can
get them to work. Anyway, go to console 2 and unregister your new
aic7xxx and then modprobe the new one. Adjust boot cat or whatever as
needed. just...n/m. but do what needed from console 2. Claudio...you
should know better, Anyway, chmouel may be able to explain why in the
heck you have speed w/ old. he did some update with that a little
back. Didn't hurt my speed though. I'm running out of small talk...
