If I understand properly, you are saying that, for instance, you can plug a fast/wide disk into an ultra bus, and the bus (of course), wouldn't run the fast/wide disk at its highest potential bandwidth. Conversely, a narrow disk in a wide bus would not slow the bus down. On the other hand, I understood Toth to be talking about bus clock only. In that case, his previous statement is as true as yours, which, oddly enough, was made in argument to it. ;) Chris Christopher Smith, Perl Developer Amdocs - Champaign, IL /usr/bin/perl -e ' print((~"\x95\xc4\xe3"^"Just Another Perl Hacker.")."\x08!\n"); '
