- I have another question for handling over a GIGA diske with Adaptec
- 1542B. Last month I bought 1542B and before using for 386BSD0.1., I
- just check a functionality on Netware 3.11 (Excuse me. I know this
- ariticle is not ..but) and Fujitsu M2266SA 1.2 GB Disks. Functionality
- is good but it looks like loosing a space about 200MB (above 1Gbyte).
- And some guy let me know about this is a known problem of 1542B and
- Adaptec will be fixed by new board - 1542C. (Oh well.....)
- Now a day, A lot of guys try to run 386BSD with this card without know
- this problem!!!
-
- My Question:
-
- o Is this a hard ware limitaion or a firm ware one ?
- o Is there any upgrade pass from 1542B to 1542C(?) ?
- o When new board is available ?
- o How about 174X for EISA bus ? (normal/extended mode)
