Where is DVD ?

What you request:

What the hardware detects it can do:
> Goal: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit)

What both agreed to do finally...:
> Curr: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit)

So you hardware thiks it can not do U160. Possibilities:
- Check jumpers on the drive
- Active but SE termination, so no double data rate. Check your terminator
is LVD.
- SE device at end of chain, so no LVD also (you say your DVD/DAT are on the
other channel...)

I would vote for SE instead of LVD active terminator ar the cause. At least
'cause I also suffered from it (dam***d hardware dealers...)

Hope this helps.
