- Well, not really. There's no reason you cannot have more than one
- SCSI adapter in a PC. The PAS-16 driver may (or may not) support the
- Quantum drive so the original poster might just have to keep both
- cards. Sounds to me more like the Adaptec and PAS-16 are interfering
- with each other by using the same address or interrupt. These should
- be adjustable via jumper so that each card uses it's own address (I/O
- or memory) and interrupt number.
