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 ?
