	Does this driver support ISC High petrformange disk driver
	( HPDD ) and soes it support SCSI tapes. I have used adaptec
	1542 controllers, but ihave had big problems with Archive
	150 M SCSI streamers. I have got always PANIC .. error code 17
	when i have used steamer . I am now looking some other
	solution for SCSI disc and tape.
	The problem with 1542 and Archive 2150S is not problem with
	only one unit , i have tested 5 diferent ones of 1540 / 1542
	three 210S`s and in many diferent computers.    .... And
	once i got it working, but then i sold controller ... !.
	The problem is not with SCSI id , not with parity .
