Which Adaptec adapter would you want the Buslogic to be compatible
with?  The 174X & 274x are quite different from one another; and,
as far as I know, Buslogic does not make an adapter that is compatible
with either of them.

      Sure,   but Buslogic 742A,  747S,  747c EISA SCSI  controller formaly
   known as Bustec are Adaptec compatible. Nvertheless I get a Adaptec 1740
   which works quite well and the thread is obsolete.

   Regards

   Lars

 No!! BusLogic BT-747S is compatible with AHA-1742A, but its firmware and BIOS
should be the Ver 3.35 & 4.50

Sorry, you're out of date.  The most current firmware and bios versions for
the BT-747S are 3.37 and 4.70.

 Sorry, BT-747S is compabible with AHA-1542. not AHA-1742.
 I am very very sorry for my mistake.

 Sorry, The Firmware & BIOS  Ver 3.35 & 4.50 is working well with NeXTSTEP 
 Ver 3.2 with AHA-1542 driver, if you choose 3.37 & 4.70, SCSI Bus will report
 SCSI Time-out when probe the SCSI devices. So, I say that BusLogic BT-747S is 
 compatible with AHA-1742A, but its firmware and BIOS should be the Ver 3.35 & 
 4.50.

Extended translation is NOT compatible.  Been there done that.

I have an adptec AHA-1740A  EISA SCSI Controller for sale.  I used it with DOS 5.0,
OS/2 Version 2.0 and 2.1 until my mother board died.  I have the books and drivers
that came with it plus some utilities from adptec's BBS.  Adptec has good support 
for their products.

This is an EISA busmaster SCSI controller that works in standard or enhanced mode.
Standard mode allows software written for the AHA-1540 to be used.  I used 
enhanced mode as it has more features.

The 1740 does not have floppy disk controllers on board.  I used a gsi model 11
quad floppy controller.

I am asking $100 postage paid in the continetal US if you send a Money order.  COD
you pay postage and COD fee.
