This is somewhat of the original topic, but if I have a PCI ultra160
SCSI adapter card and plug it into a 33MHz 32 bit PCI bus I think the
max throughput would be 4 * 33 = 132 MBytes per sec, so I'm never going
to be able to get 160 MB/s continuous out of the drive. It would
appear that I would need to use a 66MHz PCI bus to achieve this, which
limits me to only one other card in the PC.
Am I right?
