I am interested in purchasing an Adaptec 1540B or 1542B controller to run DOS and UNIX (ESIX). I have been told that there are compatibility problems with the card and Windows 3.0 and other DOS programs. Can someone fill me in on the actual problems? (if any) -- David E.

This means, you need a additional driver for programs as windows 3, qemm-386 and that. It's called SCSIHA.SYS and I think, it's available on every online service.
