Hi,
For what it's worth, I had sort of similar problems with my Future Domain
SCSI and a NEC CD-ROM drive. What looks like memory problems and freeze-ups is
really a termination problem (SCSI interface problem) between the drive and the
controller. I found this out after many days of pulling out may hair and
everything in my computer. Have you tried a different SCSI device (and or
resolved SCSI ID conflicts) just to see if the system works? Is the SCSI
physical chain terminated properly? Does the your system work without your
syquest drive attached and the ADAPTEC installed? Is the adaptec board
terminated? If it is you need to UN(?)terminate it. I.E. check for all physical
connection and interface problems before attacking software driver problems
because the former causes the latter not to work (as well as the rest of your
software). Hope this may be of help. Have fun.
