Thats strange, there are no differences in the way that stuf is detected between a 1542B and a 1542C. > I can take a stab at it however I suspect that anyone who has > program the 1542c will be able to detect the necessary changes > a lot faster than me. 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. > This is cool :) > Amancio > -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
