This section provides a description of the major LSI53C1510 benefits.
Ultra2 SCSI is an extension of the SPI-2 draft standard that allows faster
synchronous SCSI transfer rates and defines a new physical layer, LVD
SCSI, that provides an incremental evolution from SCSI-2 and Ultra
SCSI. When enabled, Ultra2 SCSI (8-bit) performs transfers of
