Two possibilities spring to mind.  If you have an Apple High Speed
SCSI card, you need to have a second hard disk on the chain to supply
termination power.  If you have a memory card that has problems
supporting DMA, you need to turn off DMA on the High Speed SCSI.

You mention you have a 4MB memory card.  Many older model RAM
cards, even if they are 4MB, do not support DMA.  Try turning DMA
off and see what happens....but remember to add a second hard drive
to the chain one way or another.
