- Ok, see subject, boots are MUCH faster now, you'll notice if you have
- some drives on the bus, and each one taking its time to complete a
- reset command. That no longer happens. #508 instead negotiates for
- sync mode itself, so we're not only getting rid of resetting the
- devices, we also get support for sync transfers for free. I like it
- :-)
-
- A 508 kernel is on ftp.eunet.ch, as well as diffs (3k:-)) from 500
- sources to 508. Enjoy:)

- PS: for those with drives that misbehave if sent sync-negotiation
- messages, look at scsi.c, there's a yet unneeded array called
- inhibit_sync, enter controller/unit of which device doesn't want to
- be sent sync-negotiation messages, ever.
