   Hey,

	As I tested, the Adaptec 1542C can be used under NetBSD without
	problem.

	What I set is:
		Extended BIOS Translation for DOS DRIVES > 1GByte - Enabled
		Dynamically Scan SCSI Bus for BIOS Devices -------- Disabled
		BIOS Support for More Than 2 Drives --------------- Enabled

	I have two IDEs (120MB, 340MB) and one SCSI HD(1.2GB, DEC DSP3105S).

	The only problem I can see is that it might cause the HD to be useless
	under DOS if the dynamically scan is disabled.
