- The 1520 series is not compatable with the 1540 or 1740 series,
- so it isn't supported. Poorer hackers end up with boards like the
- Seagate at 20% the cost, people in the middle of the market get cheaper
- non-adaptec products, and the better off crowd end up with busmastering
- 1542's and the like, so the situation isn't very likely to change.
-
- If you want support, see about getting technical documentation from Adaptec,
- write the code yourself, or bribe someone to do it.
