Being a supposedly tried and true PC SCSI controller that is universally
supported by '386 BSD UNIX systems, how good is this SCSI controller
really?  What SCSI controller chip does it use?  How smart is it (what
microprocessor does it use and what does it use it to do)?  What's the
upper limit on xfer rate?  How many I/Os can it do per/sec?  Also,
I have seen 1542B and 1542BK, any difference?

Thanks!
