/proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0 give details on the controller and its capabilities.
It does not refer to any devices. This is what the controller is capable of.

This is what the device the controller has found is capable of.
Target 4, whatever it is, is not capable of synchronous transfers.

My two real SCSI jukeboxes behave just fine.
