Derek,

Thanks for the info.  I thought my posting had gotten lost, as NO ONE 
replied to it.  I'm still hoping that someone from Adaptec will get on
here and tell us difinitivly what the 1522 is.

meanwhile,

The 1542a works just fine in a 25 mhz machine - I'm typing on one now :-)
It also works in a 33 mhz machine, as I feed a couple of sites that 
use them.  And I know that the 1542b works in fast machines because 
that is what I sell them in.  

If all else fails for you, I KNOW the Magitronics board works well
with ISC and the 1542.  That's what I'm running now.  They
are imported by Liuski here in Atlanta and are very cheap.

John
