I'm trying to nail down the differences between FAS101 and 53C96 SCSI chips
used in Sun systems/boards.
I believe the 53C96 is 5MB/sec SCSI and the FAS101 if 10MB/sec.
(I found specs for Macs with the 53c96 that say 5MB/sec which is where
I got that # from). A Sun infodoc article lumps up the FAS101 and MACIO,
doesn't indicate the speed of the FAS101, but indicates the MACIO is
10MB/sec.
This obviously if correct would make the FAS101 the better SCSI chip if
one had
a choice between the two (unless there were some other performance drawbacks
to the 'faster' chip).
I think this is correct, but looking for confirmation.
