Is there a utility to test for common SCSI faults, e.g. termination,
cable length, controller/driver problems, one device on the chain
acting up?

I guess it would have to probe like SCSIinfo and then test one device
at a time at asynch, then ramp up the speed, etc.  What I'd like is
something to eliminate possible problems when there are intermittent
SCSI troubles, as well as a "skake down" test for new equipment.
