In both the Adaptec 2372A & 2372B controllers there is a way to disable the
use of Int 60-67.  Using DEBUG enter g=c800:5 to access the controller BIOS.

Choose option 3 - Special options, then choose 4 -  Option to generate Adaptec
auto-configuration device drive. Type a file name and place a line in your
config.sys that states device = [filename].

I'm showing how it's done on the 2372B, the 2372A should be close.) 

This will force the controller to use the standard DOS Int of 41 and 46 to 
point to the drive parameter table.
