I've discovered some more information in regard to this problem:

"Olicom 4/16 mbps Token ring card (configured for 4mbps)" is actually not an 
Olicom but a Hypertec Tropic (Australian made) with the settings Port A20, 
Primary Card Address CC00, Shared RAM (which I was not aware of when working 
on the server) D800 Int 2.

The problem with the server recognising the Adaptec is undoubtably due to the 
Shared RAM address which is also the Adapter BIOS base address. However, when 
I changed it to C8000h, D0000h or E000h (the only permissable values), the 
server didn't recognise the full 32MB at boot time. Therefore I still havce 
problems with the Adaptec 2842A.

The second problem still has me stumped.
