I've also set the jumpers, and have the manual for the 1520 controller,
and I've double-checked the settings on the card to assure they are
accurately set. While IRQ 11 is the default, my systeminfo settings say
9 is free, so I set the card to 9 and the bios (system) to reserve irq 9
for ISA. I have an advansys pci card, which installed with no problems,
but the cable I have is cent50, which doesn't plug in the advansys card,
and being Sunday I've little hope of finding a store nearby with a
hd50/cent50 scsi adapter or cable suitable with the cdrom tower i need
to control... I'll have a look at the settings again 2bsure.
