Hi Marek, thanks for the reply.
I have an Adaptec 2940U with a 68wire with 3 conectors. I connect 1 to the SCSI adapter and the other to the SCSI Disk. The support up to 160MB/s but the adapter only up to 40MB/s.
Will try to get a twisted pair cable or a new adapter, because the disk is being wasted at 40MB/s
Thanks Oliver

Is there any problem in disabling the parity in a SCSI board?
Yes, it will lead you to silent error witch is very bad thing.
Adaptec cards is known to have very sensitive bus receivers/transmiters and require good cable/terminator. Try active terminator even if there is only one disk on the bus, also change your 68 wire symmetric cable to 68 wire twisted pair (signal/ground) one.
Cheers, Marek.
