The newer firmware supports 20Mb synchronous, mine only supports 10.

Internal A3000 SCSI controller only supports about 1.5MB/s average 3MB/s peak so it doesn't really matter ;-)

How do you handle enclosure managment with this? Rebuilds etc. All done with the LCD and the buttons on the unit?

Which RAID modes does it support? RAID1 only? RAID5?

It transfers to my Amiga at 20Mb/s synchronous

Then you must have a Cyberstorm PPC/MKIII with Ultra Wide SCSI. There is no other SCSI controller for the A3000 (or for that matter any Amiga) that can do that rate.
