I have a PAS16 driving a Texel DM3024. I have intermittent problems
with it which I cannot identify as being the card or the drive.
Specifically, when playing 2x AVI files like the one on the latest
CD ROM today sampler CDROM, I get audio and video skipping. Return
to Zork reports the drive has a transfer rate between 288-293KB/sec
and MPC Wizard reports sometimes speeds > 300KB/sec. This is in
keeping with a 2X drive.

But I don't understand the skipping - any ideas? (DOS 5.0 Windows
3.1 8M Cyrix 486DLC/40).

The other problem I have is the drive occasionally hanging during
the playing of a AVI file and upon reboot not being found by the
SCSI driver. Only a power off/on will fix this - not C-A-D or reset
or C-A-D with the drive being powered off and on (it's mounted
externally so has its own power supply).
