On the 1542, there are two sets of jumpers. One set to establish
the actual I/O port, DMA, etc, and the second set is used to establish
what the 1542 will tell the host it wants to use for these parameters.
For the 1542 to work correctly, these two sets of jumpers must be set
so that they are consistent with each other. My guess is that this is
not the case for your board.
