I've had similar trouble with my Microbotics HardFrame SCSI controller.  My
problem lies in the fact that its DMA controller chip, a Signetics
SCB68430CAN48, runs too hot.  The problem was fixed by placing a heat sink
on it (avail. at places like Radio Shack).  Also, it is crucial that the
cover is on your Amiga 2000 (I assume this is what you have) when it's
turned on for proper air flow.

I hope this helps.
