You have a P90 server and yet are using an ISA NIC that uses PIO to
tranfer information.  You may want into look into another NIC.

It seems like you have 5.7 gigs worth of HD space.  Don' know how much
is being used, but 48megs is a bit on the skimpy side, to put it mildly.
of course since you are using 4.1, it alleviates the problem a bit but
still...... more memory should be HIGH on the next wish list.

MAke sure that you ahve the latest adaptec drivers (ftp.adaptec.com).
Also, make sure that your parity is enabled in the scsi setup.  

Are you using any switches when loading your adaptec *.DSK nlms?
