Sorry, need a little more than that. What CPU, how much ram, what
peripherals... is it SCSI or IDE, do you have external cache? How much?
Is it enabled, what type of MB PCI/VLB/EISA/ISA if it is SCSI, what are
the address settings for the card, do you have more the one SCSI card, do
you have a mix of SCSI and IDE, Do you have an intel chip or is it Cyrix?
