It should show for a 1542CF with some disks something like: Dec 21 17:40:54 ats7 kernel: fdc0: [0: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in] [1: fd1: 1.2MB 5.25in] Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: aha0: 1542C/CF detected, unlocking mailbox Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: aha0: reading board settings, dma=5 int=11 (bus speed defaulted) Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: aha0 targ 0 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed SCSI2 Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: aha0 targ 0 lun 0: <TOSHIBA MK537FB 6261> Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: sd0: 1014MB (2076758 total sec), 1980 cyl, 13 head, 80 sec, bytes/sec 512 Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: aha0 targ 1 lun 0: type 0(direct) removable SCSI1 Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: aha0 targ 1 lun 0: <SyQuest SQ555 F7P > Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: sd1(aha0:1:0): not ready Dec 21 17:40:55 ats7 kernel: sd1 could not mode sense (4).
