I am relieved to be able to report that I have discovered & fixed the
problem that I was having.

I found a setting in my Award 4.5PG BIOS - PCI Burst to Main Memory
which by default is enabled. Setting this to disabled ensures that the
SCSI card functions properly in DOS & Windows 95.

I don't know exactly what this does as it is not documented in the
otherwise excellent ASUS manual, However I assume that it is going to
slow down the PCI transfers somewhat, in fact my Graphics Winmark95 is
down by about 15%. As the whole machine is so much faster though I
think that I can live with this.

Incidentally I did try setting the motherboard clock speed to 33MHz (I
am currently using a Cyrix 5x86 in 3X40MHz) but this made no
difference to the problem. The BIOS setting was the answer as it is
quite consistent that if re-enabled the problems recur.

Thanks to everyone who emailed me with suggestions.
