+  The driver reports on the synchronous transfer parameters negotiated between
+  the host adapter and target devices in units of "mega-transfers/second".  For
+  wide devices, the unit of transfer is 16 bits if wide negotiation has been
+  successfully completed.  Therefore, the total transfer rate to wide devices
+  will generally be twice the synchronous tranfer rate reported by the driver.
