There are some Adaptec boards that were OEM'd by Tandy/Radio Shack which
have rev numbers different from the standard Adaptec.  They also have
different EPROMs.  I'd stay away from anything labeled as coming from
Tandy unless you can get a guarantee.

(There was a Tandy 1540A which is what Adaptec called a 1540, and there was
also a Tandy 1540B which Adaptec called a 1540A.
