The kernel docs claim it does > 10 MB/sec on machines where the bus is internal only: I have tried it on my PDQ/300. My SyQuest worked fine, but according to /proc, it was still running at 5. however, my yamaha cdrw did not work. set 5, it reports its sync speed is 4.2. when MESH is told to max at 10, my RW is still recognized, reports 8.4, but does not respond to mounting, reading, nor writing. It could be that the 6.6 you have achieved is still doable, but my 8.4 is not. so setting MESH to 7 or 8 may be a safer fast speed. havent tried it though. -- Joseph P.
