  • Automatic control of data transfer rates over a computer bus
    Patent number: 5870571
    Abstract: In a computer with an UltraSCSI bus system, an arrangement is provided for reducing the possibility of the SCSI specifications being exceeded. This arrangement involves selectively inhibiting the host adaptor from using the UltraSCSI data rate when any external SCSI device is detected as present. When there are no such external devices, it is assumed that the computer has been internally designed such that the UltraSCSI specifications will not normally be exceeded so that the UltraSCSI data rate can be safely enabled.
