It's the only one I have for free. I suppose I could go out and purchase a new
one, but it's not as painless yet as buying 10/100 NICs for $15.

It is an internal drive. I wanted to put a terminator on the adaptor's centronix
port just to make sure that part was terminated. It wasn't clear to me what the
DIP was for on the adaptor.

When the system boots up and the adaptor scans its devices it correctly
identifies the drive as target 0. As a matter of fact, the adaptors diagnostics
for itself and the drive seem to run fine. Well, actually, they don't *seem* to
run fine they just run fine. It's only when Linux boots up and the aha1542
driver takes over that problems seem to appear.
