It's not obsolete as far as I'm concerned. It still runs all the drives I need to run, including newer ones, and it still has the best software support of any SCSI adapter. It may share these traits with the 1542C, but I feel no inclination to upgrade yet; but now I know the 1542C has something the 1542B doesn't. -- Richard Krehbiel richk@netcom.com Picture a clever one-liner here...
