Hmmm... I've got two AHA1542 cards.. not sure on the revision on either,
if they're C's or not, but one is the older one with the large SCSI
connectors and the other is SCSI-2... the SCSI-2 card is on the Mandrake
6.0 machine, but the other is on this one running 6.1... it's IO:330, IRQ
12, DMA 7 and it works fine. I believe the other card is identical except
it's on a different IRQ... Something about IRQ 11 bugs me tho, and I'm
not sure what.... can you stick it on a different IRQ (maybe try 12?) and
see if that works? Do you have any other cards in there that may have IRQ
conflicts at all? I know I had that problem with a PNP NE2000 card before
until I changed the IRQ on the Adaptec card...
