Notes:
1 Cable Skew is measured at each device connection with the transmitted skew subtracted from
the received skew.
2 See SPI-3 specifications for measurement points.
3 See SPI-3 specifications for examples of how to calculate setup and hold timing.
4 SCSI bus timing values specified by the maximum transfer rate for the given range shall apply
even if a slower transfer rate within the given range is negotiated.
