You assumed wrong, my friend. ;-) The 2 in 1542
means "with floppy" - I
wonder if the F means "Fast" as in Fast SCSI - 10M/sec instead of the
standard 5M/sec bus speed.
Every Adaptec controller I'd seen up to the 29xx series used the last digit
for floppy controller - 2 for floppy, 0 without, I don't know if there were
others... For some reason, I thought there was a '4' ending as well, but I
don't know what that could've stood for.
Perhaps FOUR flopies?
