-current is supposed to correctly identify this as a "154xB-3.2",
though I have no way to test this.  The code has always treated a
"154xB-3.2" the same as a 1542C, including the unlocking of the
mail box.

Are you using the floppy on the 1542?  If not, is it disabled?  Though I
can't see why that would work differently with the attach disabled.
