I built a system with

	* an ASUS PVI486SP3 motherboard
	* a NCR810-based SCSI-PCI host adapter (SDMS rel. 3.0x)
    * SANYO 254S SCSI-2, Quad-Speed CD-ROM drive
	* IBM DPES31080 1,08GB SCSI hard drive
	* a 16-bit sound card (Mozart)
	* an ATI XPRESSION mach64 2MB DRAM, PCI

everything works nice so far with one minor problem: the sound card
and the SCSI HA don't cooperate.

A (Windows 3.1) application for playing audio-CDs came with the soundcard's
drivers ("Audio-Rack") but I wasn't able to make it work.

When I insert an audio-CD and start "Audio-Rack" it comes up, I see the
HD-LED (indicating activity on the SCSI bus) burning but I can only hear
the HD being accessed for some reason, the CD-ROM LED does not get lit.
If I leave it that way "Audio-Rack" goes on and on trying to access the
CD-ROM endlessly...

The sound card works otherwise, I can play audio clips and there are
no boot messages pointing to an error, the system runs nice and very
stable.

Any tips, clues what's going wrong here?

Best regards,
