Greetings
I am using the single slot PCMCIA SCSI card readers, one fomr Minolta and the other from Microtech. They are identical and each has the same problem. When I go to import an image file or drag and drop one for that matter they are slow. I also have a card reader that is ISA and it is much faster than the SCSI ones. They are not drastically slow but for a SCSI device to be outperformed by an ISA device is upsidedown.
The system is a Pentium II400 P6L Deuchutes in a Super micro P6SBU with SCSI2LVD, AHA2940U/AHA29402W onboard adapter
384MB SDRAM in three double banks. The SCSI ID is correct, It loads properly during boot. Sandra gives it high marks but it is just slooooow. The cables are those supplied wity the device. Could this be a wide to narrow issue where either the high byte or low byte has to be terminated in a special adapter?? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Sincerely

Vincent
