Yes, that`s right, you have to set the transfer to syncronus mode after every reset, but you don`t have to do it manually. There is a way to add a line to the startupsequence that involves unitcontrol to set the various units to syncronus/asyncronus mode. It must be described somewhere in the readmes.
The Cyberstorm SCSI-Kit has a jumper that makes it look into the RDB and see if it has been set to syncronus mode (must be set with P5 tools) and switch automatically. The Fastlane doesn`t have this feature.
