After upgrading from a DX486 33 to a pentium motherboard & processor
I now have a problem with the speed of data through the scsi interface on
the Mediavision sound card (prosonic 16 scsi). The adapter scans without
fault, it reads directories without fault, some small programs and files can
be run, copied etc but larger ones and games installation is near
impossible. Sometimes it will read programs properly sometimes it won't,
I've tried the system with both the drivers supplied with the card and
those incorporated into win95.  Win95 says everything is working
properly with no conflicts, but it's a case of never believe everything you
read.  It takes an age to read something, continually fails the drive or it
reads it but it's corrupt, sometimes all at the same time.

There's no IRQ conflict, no fault with the card or CD-Rom but still crap.
I took Peter Swanson's advice (given here in tech.pc) to someone with a
similar problem and changed the AT settings.  It's an Elite MB (TR5510)
and has AT recovery time settings in the BIOS the 8-bit times run from
1-8 and the 16-bit from 1-4.  I've had some success with this, changing
the 8-bit recovery time helps some but not much, the 16-bit time doesn't
help at all which surprised me .

Now I don't know whether to try every single combination of settings
(over 40) or buy a separate adapter card altogether, although that seems
a shame when everything was working fine before. Okay it's not a
wonderful sound card but still.

No-one seems to have much good to say about Future Domain cards is it
a case of Adaptec or bust. I'm on a limited budget here, a card under
�40-50 would be great.

The CD-ROM is a Toshiba XM-540ita
The card loads Future Domain drivers TMC860... in a win95 setup
and the Prosonic drivers include Power scsi mcam950 v2.00, 
loadable driver v2.41sgm and Corel dos ext v1.01 in a none win95 setup.

Any guidence would be most appreciated.
