Very interesting, you must have a very different documentation set than
everyone else (Or perhaps you can read stuff that isn't there). This is
a grep for 1542 from all the files in the distribution directory:
INSTALL.NOTES:(MFM, ESDI, IDE, SCSI - Adaptec 1542, RLL). Also, the usual
INSTALL.NOTES:SCSI (Adaptec 1542) controllers as well, allowing use of 3M
INSTALL.NOTES:QIC-80 supported at this time). SCSI (Adaptec 1542) CD-ROM
INSTALL.NOTES:Adaptec 1542 SCSI Controller Configuration Information:
Notice not one mention of either the "A" or "B" suffix! Perhaps you should
post your information!
