Thats strange, there are no differences in the way that stuf is detected
between a 1542B and a 1542C.

The fixes to support the 1542C are all in one block, look at the current
aha1542.c files, search for: AHA_INQUIRE  

You have to issue a special command to the 1542C to get it to behave
itself.  If you reset your 1542C to factory defaults on the extended
function setup menu it should behave just like a 1542B and this change
is not needed.
