I have replaced my 1542CF with a 2842A at Dec 21 and no problems seen regarding the 2842. But i have seen problems on another local bus motherboard that is working ok with a 1542. I tried to replace the 1542 with a 2825 local bus controller and the machine simply hangs in the BIOS. Don't know if it is the board or the adaptec BIOS :-). The machine is a cyrix 486DX. The 2825 board works fine in another motherboard ( EISA/VL ) with an intel 486DX. I have only seen some timeouts with a 2742T controller with the ahc driver, but i have not looked into them, because this is on my test machine, where i test bad SCSI disks :-). So i need first find out, if the driver has some problems or the disks. Anyone remember the good old seagate ST296N ? :-). seagate told that this is really a SCSI drive, so no one believed that. It sounds like an ST506 or RLL drive, it is slower than a ST506 so it can't be SCSI :-).
