internal error 5 means (most of the times) that a memory fault occured. Strange
that you have this problem since you installed the interface. Most of
the times I get this error in my own programs if I write to memory somewhere
in hyperspace.

Try to slightly enlarge you 'wimpslot' in the !Run file. Maybe it works.

Are you using RISC OS 2 with an old copy of !Edit, and have you added
extra fonts to your system since installing the SCSI card? Just a wild
guess, but this is the same error old versions of !Edit gave when they
found too many (more than about 20) fonts...

hello!

Try to load up to 12 fonts but not more, because !Edit can use only 
12 fonts at the same time. Thats why create a new Fonts-Directory with
12 fonts within.

That's actually an error from RiscOSLib, which means a signal was
raised and not handled. The signal in turn means that the C run-time
system caught a hardware error, i.e. an address exception, abort on
data fetch, or similar. (I forget which one error 5 is.)

Once you've tried the previously-suggested fonts problem, you could
try killing the SCSIfiler module, as this might be broadcasting odd
messages. The fonts are far more likely to be the problem, though.
