aha0: AHA-1542CF BIOS v2.01-VE.0, enabling mailbox, enabling residuals
aha0: reading board settings, dma=5 int=11  (bus speed defaulted)
aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
(aha0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST15150N 0019" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 4095MB (8388315 512 byte sectors)
(aha0:5:0): "HP C1533A 9406" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(aha0:5:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x24, variable blocks, write-enabled
(aha0:6:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3601TA 0265" type 5 removable SCSI 2
cd0(aha0:6:0): CD-ROM cd present.[307527 x 2048 byte records]

I ran into more problems when I added the cdrom though and I'm now running
with adpatec bios default settings, which is no scsi-ii and no sync on
anything. We'll see if it survives a bit longer this time....
