   I've just ordered a 1542C, please tell me it's going to work with NetBSD !!!!



There is a real problem with improper cables on the 1542C. After
disabling the internal terminator on the controller and aplying an
external terminator I had no further problems. The only problems for
people using only SCSI drives is that i can't get the beast to boot
from the SCSI drive. So I but from my old ESDI and mount the SCSI into
the system.
