+    "aic7xxx=seltime:2" - This option controls how long the card waits
+        during a device selection sequence for the device to respond.
+	The original SCSI spec says that this "should be" 256ms.  This
+	is generally not required with modern devices.  However, some
+	very old SCSI I devices need the full 256ms.  Most modern devices
+	can run fine with only 64ms.  The default for this option is
+	64ms.  If you need to change this option, then use the following
+	table to set the proper value in the example above:
+	  0  -  256ms
+	  1  -  128ms
+	  2  -   64ms
+	  3  -   32ms
