I'm not sure about the 1522, but if it allows for : ``DOS > 1 GB'' translation (63 sectors per virtual track, 256 virtual : heads), it should also work with the AHA2940.

True, it may work without reformatting, but it isn't something I'd bet on especially since the 1522 and 2940 use different Adaptec SCSI AICs. :) -- /* | Spam violation - e-mail dumped... ** Internet: jca@accessnv.com | Don't blame me, I didn't vote for Clinton. ** jca@anv.net | Intel is the word for 'errata.' */
