G�rard has to help you. I don't know about a bug in the DC390 BIOS
misreporting speeds. The reason for the message, that your target does not
report sync might be:
* The device is buggy and does not answer with a corrected SDTR message, but
refuses it, if more than 4MB/s are suggested by the initiator.
* The driver does not support sync speeds below 5MHz, as they don't make
sense anyway. With async. transfers, you can get 5MB/s (and a little bit
more, if your driver uses aggressive timing).
