[comp.periphs.scsi] aha-1542b running at 8Mhz DMA on Northgate 486/

lam@hyper.hyper.com (Edmund C. Lam) (05/14/91)

The 1542b is capable of the follow DMA transfer rates: 5Mhz, 5.6Mhz, 6.7Mhz, 
and 8Mhz.  I experimented with a Quatum 210s in synronous mode and was
only able to run at 6.7Mhz.  I tried an 8Mhz DMA transfer rate and was
unable to boot.  The CPU claimed 'parity error' at some segment ( I forget
the actual segment ).

Everything seems to be peachy running at 6.7Mhz.  Is this a problem with 
the Q210s?  Is it a problem with the motherboard?
