So did mine , tis why i called up philips on the uk 0800 free toll line and
spoke to their techs about any issues with my device ..

then i spoke to Adaptec in the Netherlands about the lates scsi bios for my
card ...

both sent files and adaptec sent a new IC for my Scsi card

.............

it solved my issues with cd-record..
