I have a problem with my computer and I think is related to my Adaptec SCSI controller and my memory. Problem description: During a back-up or restore with Central Point CP Backupwith 2.0 for Windows, my machine freezes or the tape drive suddenly stops. Things started after I upgraded my memory from 16 Mb to 32 Mb. Once, I was editing a several Mb graphics file, when the status light of DAT streamer started blinking a few times. Also, I heard the CD-ROM player trying to start. This happened a few times while editing this file. Alle my other devices seem to work properly. By removing 16 Mb, the hang-ups disappeared. Questions: I there an address conflict between the additional memory and the SCSI controller causing these hang-up's? Is there a way to prevent this by configuring Win95 or my BIOS? If not, which amount of memory will not disturb my machine? Software: MS Windows 95. Hardware configuration: Vesa local bus 486/DX266 motherboard with AMI BIOS (date 06/06/1992), 32 Mb memory, Adaptec Altra Line AVA-1515 SCSI controller (IQR 11, I/O port 350h-35Fh), connected to the adapter are a HP1534A 4mm DAT tapestreamer and a Panasonic CR504B CD-ROM drive. Tseng Lab ET4000 1 Mb videocard, Multi I/O controller with floppy and hard drive adapter, two 16550 COM ports and one LPT port (standard IRQ's and I/O ports), a 14k4 external modem connected to COM2, 2 Western Digital Caviar hard drives (no LBA or boot patches), Creative Soundblaster 16 ASP soundcard (IRQ 5, DMA 1 and 5, I/O port 220h and 330h -MIDI-) with a joystick connected to it, NE2000 compatible ethernetcard (IRQ 10, I/O port 300h).
