The test on AHA 1740 is much older.
In patch 0.98.6 we have
if (inquiry_result[0] == 0x43) {
- slow_scsi_io = hostnum;
- printk("aha1542.c: Slow SCSI disk I/O selected for AHA 174N hardware.\n");
+ printk("aha1542.c: Emulation mode not supported for AHA 174N hardware.\n");
+ aha_disable = 1;
};
So, as far as I can see, there are no conflicts between aha1542
and aha1740 in the sense that the former would try to handle the latter.
Conversely, that aha1740 also seems to test that it has the right card
in aha1740_test_port().
Maybe there is no ordering restriction?
