Yup. I have another issue with the current aha1542 driver; a patch to
support the 1542cp adapter, fouled up the detection of the "extended
translation" on the 1542cf. In order to run lilo on the disk (/ is there),
I need to comment out a single line in aha1542.c (search for 0x03 and you'll
find it).
But I can live with it as it is.

It did. pre7 worked perfectly with my DAT drive.
Andries, I'll download and try your driver just for kick over the weekend.
Thanks for the help to everyone,
