Hello,

with precious help from Ross (many thanks, Ross!!) I've managed to
resolve my DTS Scan freezing issue.
It was the virtual memory!
It really looked like a SCSI problem, but it was not. Well, not
entirely.
I've turned virtual memory off, and now I have DTS Scan up&running at
full speed on both my Beige G3 (OS 8.1, built-in SCSI adapter) and
BlueWhite G3 (OS 9.2.1, Adaptec 2906 PCI card).
Probably, since the DTS Scan application is so old, it had the SCSI
Manager calls at non-relocatable addresses.
With Virtual Memory on, SCSI DMA functions entry points may have been
messed up and the application tried to access invalid memory
locations, thus freezing up everything.
Just a theory.

Anyway, turning off virtual memory was the key. :-)

Thanks a lot to all the people who supported me, a big special thank
to Ross.

Fernando
