The machine is an IPC; sd0 is physically internal, the rest are in
external enclosures, with a separate terminator on the end of the
chain.  Why only sd1 runs sync, I have no idea - the others must be
refusing the negotiation or something.

The only time I have any trouble is if I use the trick of breaking to
ddb to freeze the scsi chain and then shuffling cables - often, after
doing this and "c"ontinuing from ddb, the next access to sd1 causes it
to renegotiate sync.  (This is not really a problem in practice.)

Why do you care?  (Just curious.)
