Sounds damn familiar. I've been having similar problems with my system. I've
swapped out every part including the TWGS, and swaped parts onto my other GS
and have concluded the problem was with my RamFAST card. Now I know you
don't have one in your system, but if you can borrow a SCSI card from someone
you maybe able to determine if your SCSI card is at fault. Currently my RamFAST
is in for repairs.

Good luck.
