tore@gregers.nr.no (Tore Solvar Karlsen) says:

1. After unpacking and mounting the scsicard directly into the PC
   my floppy drive A are unusable. Moving the floppy cable over
   to the scsi-card gives no change. The scsi-card has default settings.
   The symptoms are (from DOS):


Are both cards/controllers ( 1542b & origional floppy controller ) in
the PC at the same time? If they are, is one disabled ( jumpers etc )
when you are trying to use the other?

I would expect two active floppy controllers in one PC to cause all
sorts of problems...
