That makes no sense. The way SCSI works is the bus is negotiated at the
speed of the slowest device, and after the negotiation is complete with
that device, the data phase is entered, and that is run at the speed of
that device, not dependent on any other device on the system.
What I believe
Someone suggested that I put a snippet up on my PhotoPoint site scanned at
4000 dpi and that if it did not reveal grain, that would prove it wasn't
