Are you using a disk on the cyberstorm scsi or on the internal scsi?
Either way: are you sure the cable and termination are ok?
Sure as in "I looked at every mm of the cable and checked every device
connected to it, and found no termination but at the two ends of the longest
path, and I didn't build an Y cable.".

Yes, it might seem strange that this acts differently depending on how much
memory is used, but I can't rule this out (different DMA timing!)
