I recently installed an IN-2000 SCSI controller on my Zeos 386 and ran
into a couple of strange problems.  I had been using QEMM 5.0 (RAM ROM
DISKBUF=6) and PCTools PC-Cache.  When I completed the installation of
the new controller, I experienced an enormous amount of disk activity,
slowing any disk I/O substantially.  The problem disappeared when I
removed either QEMM or PC-Cache.  Fiddling with the parameters revealed
that the culprit was the DISKBUF parameter on QEMM.  Took it away and
everything is fine.  Does anyone have any idea why?

Just curious now.
