    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions on how to get my setup running;
however, I had already tried most of them.  I DO load the ASPI driver first
into conventional memory.  I DO have the VirtualHDIRQ=off in my system.ini
file.  I DO have double buffering enabled.  I DO exlude the 16K ROM address
of my SCSI adapter from use by EMM386.  I am using the latest versions of
all the drivers.  I have to use ASPI or my JetScript driver won't load.
The last time I tried to use a swap file I had to reformat the hard disk
(major crash).  Why won't this work?  I paid more for major brand
hardware to avoid things like this, but I'm getting no help from
Adaptec, Microsoft, or Northgate (it's always a problem with the other
guys hardware/software).  Is anyone from Microsoft or Adaptec out there?

    I'm desparate and tired of restoring my hard drives.
