Some of the higher capacity SCSI disk drives rate transfer speed in both
Synchronous as well as Asynchronous, with the former being rated as much
faster.  Is synchronous transfer possible on an Intel based box??  I'm
wondering if a NCR 486 microchannel, with the NCR 53C700 SCSI chipped
controller, running SCO Unix could address these 5.0 MB/second speeds they
claim?  Is it true that a limitation to Synchronous transfer is that there
can only be one device running synchronous in a system??  

thanks for any help.
