Adaptec 1522A SCSI Support (was re: New TestFDC Results Registry)

[Richard Cini]

I use this card as a floppy/disk controller in a PC/AT that's used solely for imaging. The controller is connected to two Seagate ST-2502N (442MB) hard drives running MS-DOS 6.22. Works like a champ. Cables are readily available on eBay but since they're regular 50-pin IDC connectors, you can DIY if needed -- connectors are readily available.

    Has anyone using one of these cards made use of the SCSI function?  It
    has a Centronics 50 connector, which isn't terribly useful unless
    you've got the right cable, but if you're building an all-in-one
    imaging machine, it might be handy to have SCSI capability as well.
    It seems the driver hasn't been in Linux for quite a few versions.
    Not sure about the BSDs.
