sounds a little like my box. although my Adaptec Scsi card is
seperate. Being its a Macintosh card what I am going to suggest I
can't really do myself. Being its a APA-2930CU I use the Adaptec
2910cfg to at least get it to 10MB/S (Never found how to make it get
back to 20MB/S. Need info to twiddle the actuall seeprom bits
directly.
Go into your cmos and select the speeds you want. Since yours
is built into the board. Most likely you do it when you go to regular
Cmos. You might be able to do it with Control-A when you see your card
probing drives on boot.
Perhaps the question for you is. when did the speed change?
what hardware did you install or remove?
