> >Synopsis:       
Can someone with better net access than me (currently) please fill
in a synopsis here?  (AHA1542A problems, e.g.)

Otherwise, it will show up with an empty synopsis field in the weekly
summary, which is not easy to memorize. :-]

[Problem with AHA1542A writing only garbage]

I'm also using an AHA1540A in one machine.  I do have some problems
when using this machine as an NFS server, but the AHA itself appears
to work.  (E.g., i can start compiling the world on the machine
itself.  Last time i tried, i gave up after ~ 48 hours, it's only
a 386sx/16 :-)

My aha is:
	aha-1540a
	assy 416006-03 Rev D  (on the PCB)
	420504-00 C
	MCODE E7BC  (on the firmware ROM)

I guess the most important part is not the PCB revision, but the
firmware revision.  Some very old AHA154XA's are said to have
disfunctional scatter/gather, perhaps your adapter is one of them?
