- What is the transfer rate on the Adaptec 1542 set for? It comes default
- as 5.8 MB. I would try to set it to 5 MB. Try booting to a DOS diskette
- that doesn't load a memory manager and any TSR's. This is usually the
- cause of the problems your are describing. Also check the DMA, and I/O
- port addresses to make sure there are no conflicts with any other cards
- in your system.
