Summary:
1. LVD is a subset of SCSI-III standard, while single-ended and differential are
not defined at Ultra2 bus speed.
2. At Ultra speed, the cable length and numbers of maximum drive is inverse
proportion.
3. With differential transmission signal, the cable length is independent to SCSI
standard.
