Does anyone out there know the difference between an Adaptec 1542A and an 1542B
controller ? I was told that the only difference is that the A version is 
a full-length card whereas the B version is a half-length card; functionally
they are exactly the same.
Can I connect SCSI devices other than disks (tapes, CD-Rom etc.) on such
controllers ? For disks: is it guaranteed that any SCSI disk will work
with a 1542 controller.
Please include personal e-mail reply.
Thanks.
