Yes there is.  I strongly urge you to install Support Level Supplement
(SLS) xnx252 on your system.  This SLS contains high-performance
Adaptec drivers - I'm sure you'll find your system performance much
improved after installing them.  SLS xnx252 is availible for anonymous
UUCP from sosco, and for anonymous ftp from ftp.uu.net.  It should
also be availible from your dealer or distributor.

In addition, you might want to use Roy Neese's excellent program 
SCSICNTL.EXE to set the SCSI parameters for your host adaptor and
disks.
