I get these with a dying cdrom. Sounds like probably a bad cable or unterminated device. My guess is on lack of termination. Which 1542? <none>, A, B, or C? (I have both A and B models - apparently 1542C has some advanced termination options.)

My computer had depended on this controller for the last 5 years... Can't say as I've seen too many problems :) (not anymore - now running aha2940UW... <g>. Works fine as long as you don't enable any of the enhancements :)
Though I still use the 1542 to run that dying CDrom... I'd rather not upgrade the cable :) It shares with 2940UW just fine without change.
G'day, eh? :) - Teunis
[incidentally, it's nice running an OS that can handle multiple SCSI controllers properly :]
