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.
