It never worked properly. The only adapter I have which supports the 8b mode (the Jmicron) had some problems with its clock wiring and they discovered it only now. We also discovered that ProHG media is more sensitive to the ordering of initialization commands.

The driver will attempt the switch to 8b mode for any new MSPro card, but not all of them support it. Previously, these new cards ended up in serial mode, which is not the best idea (they work fine with 4b, after all).
