- I've run a 1542A for the last couple of years. The controller
- currently drives two 330MB drives, a Pioneer DRM-600 6-disk CD-ROM
- jukebox, and an Archive Viper 2150 tape drive.
-
- The A will NOT support >1GB drives under DOS, and is SCSI I. Adaptec
- software supports the A, including the current ASPI4DOS and ASPIDISK
- drivers.
-
- The B will support >1GB drives (with a pair of revised ROMs), and is
- (I believe) SCSI II.
