Adaptec AHA-1542B installation problem

I used factory jumper default settings as follows:
	SCSI addr: 7
	SCSI Parity: enabled
	Terminators: Installed
	Terminator Power: supplying
	Sync. Negot.: disabled
	DMA Channel: 5
	Interrupt Channel: 11
	AT Port Addr. : 330H
	AT BIOS Addr. : DC000H, enabled
	BIOS Wait state: 0, disabled
	FD Controller: enabled
	DMA Transfer Speed: 5 MB/sec
	Auto sense: enable.

During boot up time, it reported "Host adapter not found at Port Addr 330H".
It could only recognise the FDD and not the HDD. 

I'm trying to hook it up to Maxtor 8380s SCSI drive. Since this drive
isn't supported in my system SETUP list, I tried the custom config. 
entry, but the same problem continues. Also, I setup the system as if 
no HDD were installed, the same msg still appears.

Then, I tried to set other port addr w/ J7, same msg again! It indicated
same port addr, 330H, though the port addr. has been changed. 

Besides help on the above mentioned problem, I also need the followings:
	1) interrupt request for use w/ UNIX 4.0.
	2) optimum DMA transfer rate setup.
	3) install MFM drive as secondary using separate controller.

Many thanks in advance. :-)
