The AHA2842 is a narrow-SCSI card, though it's
possibly the best ADAPTEC
ever
produced. I've been using them for years without
a hitch, while their newer
cards, (2940, 3940, 3985, etc) seem to bring with them both a short life and
lots of compatibility issues.
Unfortunately, the VLB is alread a "classic" feature, having been
"dead" now
for
over a decade.
While I'm sure they exist (i.e. EISA ones), I don't have any 486 motherboards
that aren't VLB boards, the most recent of which was bought new in 1994.
Still, while not-quite-classic, VLB sure isn't leading the industry...
