I have a BusLogic BT-958 with a Seagate Ultra/Wide SCSI disk,
ST34371W.  When I boot Linux, it gives me:

scsi: ***** BusLogic SCSI Driver Version 2.0.6 of 1 December 1996 *****
scsi: Copyright 1995 by Leonard N. Zubkoff <lnz@dandelion.com>

scsi0 : BusLogic BT-958

... however, AutoSCSI shows me "Negotiated rate: 20 MHz".  Which is
right?

	a. The Linux driver displays 10 MHz but runs at 20 MHz;
	b. The card knows how to do 20 MHz but the Linux driver runs
	   it at 10 MHz because it doesn't know higher rates;
	c. The Linux driver runs the card at 10 MHz for some other
	   technical reason?
