Grml, lots of work ! :-)

Let's try...
Pin 1 on the left side

The Terminators and the Fuse are installed.

Currently this is an "updated" 1542B with the bios version 3.20
to work with the ncr like C/H/S translation.
I have another one with version 3.10, the same behavior.

There is also no difference, when I use the cards on my old
test board with an ST486/80 Processor and only 8 Meg of RAM.

The only connected target is currently an 400MB Disk from Seagate
(from a SUN SparcII) the ST1480N.
How well working ?
Like an very old disk :-) (I can hear the workers in the drive loudly)
But the drive is ok and was working flawlessly in the SparcII.
It was only replaced because of the noisy spindle motor it has.
