Bruno, Rest assured I took no offence, but didn't want you to be misled by Marion's article citing my experience. I feared you gave me more credit for expertise than I deserved. Obviously, you've covered all the bases for your situation and perhaps the Adaptec is the problem, I don't know. My Future Domain came with Corel SCSI and I am using those drivers. I know the FD TMC-1680 works for me. I hear that DTC makes an ISA adapter with jumpers for setting it's SCSI ID. The Future Domain does not, so I changed the Amiga adapter's ID using BattMem. That seemed to work. BTW, I, too, only have 4 PC slots. BB is in one, Soundblaster Pro in one, Oak multi-I/O card in third, and scsi card in the fourth. I don't use the scsi on the Soundblaster card because it uses a non-standard 40 pin ribbon connector rather than the normal 50 pin (I don't know why and they don't document it.) Wish I could provide you an answer. Maybe someone out here uses an Adaptec and will offer assistance. I hope so. I didn't buy an Adaptec because Dave Cinege at EMC warned me off them as being possible trouble. He uses a DTC adapter in a seaparate PC box which he has chained to the Amiga.
