I use my Adaptec 1542B in conjunction with an MFM HD. ;-)  You're right,
it won't work in Windows with ASPI4DOS.  Actually it did, but it
blew all of my .GRP files (along with others) away..... :(

Call Adaptec BBS @ 1-408-945-7727.  They have the latest I have
(Version 3.0) available.  There is supposedly a version 3.1, but
I've only heard that being with Central Point's PCTools (of
which I could upgrade, but I'm steamed about the 7.0 fiasco...)

This driver uses only 6672 bytes on my machine.
