OT: Bad Performance with Senao NL-2511CD ?

[Jim TerWee]

Make sure that the external connector is connected to the primary
connector. This is the top connector on the card with the label facing you
and the connectors on the right side.

> The card inits fine, using STA 1.4.9 and even loads 1.5.6 perfectly.

> Does any of you have a suggestion, what I am doing wrong?
