I have a AHA-1542 controller with a CDC wren 3 scsi drive and 1 1.2 MB 5.25 inch floppy drive and 1 1.44 MB 3.5 inch floppy drive. I use this for both Xenix and Dos work and it works fine with no problems what so ever. I am VERY satisfied. > Will the ST1096N work with AHA-154x? I don't know. >Are the floppy drives supported by the > AHA-1542 standard floppy drives or will I need buy SCSI floppy drives? I believe that I dont have a SCSI interface for my floppy drives, (they are a Teac and Chinon) and that this is provided in the floppy interface on the 1542 adapter. Why don't you try to get ahold of Roy Neece or just call Adaptec.
