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.
