Well, yes and no. The usual SCSI BIOS is sometimes blind, but an ASPI driver can allow a test program to send an IDENTIFY command to each address to see if a device is responding at all.
That being said, you want to set J6 (floppy) on the 1742A removed, so it doesn't conflict with your CC IV.
Next, you really want to make sure that the STANDARD.HEX firmware is installed for compatibility with the 1540. It's just easier this way.
Note that the 1742A BIOS in standard mode looks only for SCSI ID 0 and 1, so the ASPI driver is the way to go.
Attached is a program to scan for devices using the ASPI driver interface.
I'll try to test this out tonight or tomorrow Chuck. I have tried running the card in both enhanced and standard mode with no luck. I have the HDD set to ID 0 so it should be compatible w/ both modes.
