There were 3 models, A, B, and C. I don't think many As got out. 386BSD was based on the 1542B (and there was a Minix patch for it and it worked well for me). I have a few of these, including the 1540B which doesn't have floppy support on it. These had all sorts of jumpers for setting IRQ, DMA, etc. I think the 154xB was the most widely supported SCSI adapter out there and several competitors emulated it (DPT). That's why I bought mine & put it in the '286 I had at the time for Minix. I think the 154xC was PnP. When it came out, lots of people had problems with them. This was surprising as the 154xB was so rock solid. -- ------- Tom Buskey ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
