you said this some time ago but I was hoping you could make it for 7-R

unfortunately there is nothing to do here with camcontrol ...

it can be set on some adaptors with -U the syncrate but this seems not to 
affect the actual settings and specially the negotiation speed

where I had a adaptec card I could put a LSI card in where the correct speed 
is shown

mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0xdc00-0xdcff mem 
0xfd7c0000-0xfd7dffff,0xfd7a0000-0xfd7bffff irq 16 at device 4.0 on pci1

da0: <SEAGATE ST373207LW 0003> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit)

but unfortunately again all my Tyans and SM with onboard adaptec are running 
on slow speed (160)

ahd0: <Adaptec AIC7902 Ultra320 SCSI adapter> port 0xa800-0xa8ff,0xa400-0xa4ff 
mem 0xfc9fe000-0xfc9fffff irq 24 at device 3.0 on pci2

da1: <SEAGATE ST373455LW 0003> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da1: 160.000MB/s transfers (80.000MHz DT, offset 63, 16bit)

so then it is not exactly a scsi but an adaptec problem right?
