Definately don't want to plug a 5mhz SCSI-1 drive up to a
40mhz Ultra2 SCSI, or better, board if you have other drives running
at the boards full speed! I have had to go the other direction
though to get a large 68pin Wide drive installed on a 10mhz SCSI bus
in an older machine. In that case, the capacity it added was much
more important than the lost speed of the drive.
