It is my understanding (from my Meade sources) that this parameter is measured in
milliseconds (4000 is 4 seconds) and is an unsigned integer. I would think that
your 100000 is interpreted as 34464, or 34.464 seconds. If this is what your SCSI
card needs (even if your SCSI card needs 4 seconds), this is going to be a
looonnnggg download time. I run my Adaptec at 1000. Glad you have it running,
but I wonder about the SCSI card/SCSI driver/Pictorview interaction. It simply
should not require four seconds to get a command response.
