You can download the ascii user/tech ref. file for the 154xA adapter
off of adaptex or our CA. BBS (408)945-7727.
To get the file off of adaptex:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Put the following line in your /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file.

adaptex Any ACU BAUD 18174886893 -\d\d\d-gin:-BREAK\d\d\d-gin:-BREAK\d\d\d-gin: suucp

NOTE: The word BAUD can be replaced with either 9600, 2400, or 1200.

You can snarf the following compressed binary files via uucp.

1540CPU.LIST.Z  GRDRIVE.EXE.Z   SCSICNTL.EXE.Z  1540DRV.LIST.Z  GREAD.EXE.Z
SCSIHA.SYS.Z    1540USR.MAN.Z   GWRITE.EXE.Z    SETSCSI.EXE.Z   sco.patches.Z
sds3.desc.Z     LIST            setscsi.doc.Z   @0F1F.ADF.Z     README
inq.Z           scsicntl.doc.Z  GETDEVS.EXE.Z   SCSI.EXE.Z      list

Use the following command:

uucp adaptex!~/filename /usr/spool/uucppublic/filename

Replace 'filename' with the appropriate name of the file that you want.  To
those who only want the mode sense fiddler, it is the SCSICNTL.EXE file.  No
matter which files you snarf, always get the README file.
