In Quaterdecks White Papers are 4 possible solutions mentioned:
- use of the parameter DISKBUF=xx with QEMM.SYS (only hard disk controllers)
- for Adaptec AHA1540/1542/(?)1740 you can get from Adaptecs BBS the device
  driver SCSIHA.SYS
- configure your SCSI adapter in order that it uses the standart DMA-Chanels
- use the VDS-driver (Virtual DMA Services) if supported by your card manufacturer

On my pc, I'm running the AHA1542/B with DISKBUF successfully. The use of the
ASPI driver (programmed by Adaptec) may be o.k., but it is quite expensive (in
Germany).
