I would like to find out what happens when you intermix synchronous
and asynchronous SCSI devices on the one bus? Does the bus drop to
the lowest common denominator, or does it work at sync speeds to sync
devices etc.? What happens when both types of devices are doing
intermixed transfers? Does the speed drop significantly for the sync
devices? I am thinking here of high speed SCSI disks and slow speed
cartridge tapes or 8mm tapes. Thanks for any information.
