All the 1542B I've seen use EPROMS, so you need an UV eraser and > an EPROM programmer yo upgrade them I've got the tools and plenty of old EPROMS around if anyone needs a set burned (there are 2 27C128 proms, one is the scsi firware, the other is the host bios). I've probably even got the image files sitting on the HD of the EPROM burner still. I've also done this for 174x's and lots of other cards. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
