If anyone has a controller which is better than a 1542B for a straight
ISA box (No VLB frills), I'd be willing to trade it for my 1542B.  I'm
not real pleased with the performance out of the one I have, and would
certainly be willing to trade up to get better disk performance.  (I'm
getting about 60% of what I could with my PD2100S)
