   Do the comments on the Adaptek 2740 apply to the 1522?

No.  The 1522 is based on the 6260 chip, for which specs are
available.  The 6260 is (supposedly; my Adaptec documentation hasn't
arrived yet) mostly software compatible the 6360, and thus could be
made to work with the `aic6360' driver in NetBSD, but currently it
seems to hang during data in phase on 6260 chips.

   The local PC shops really want to sell me a 1522 and it sounds
   pretty cool and highly featureful.

The 1522 is a pretty crusty board.  I wouldn't recommend it.  Sounds
to me like they're trying to dump them.
