While we're bashing the aha152x driver, I figured I'd chime in with my
complaints...
The aha152x driver (in 130 at least) has got a horrible tendency to suck
interrupts away from everything else when the machine is under high
load. I was ripping from my CD-ROM (plextor 32x on an ncr53c875) to a
vfat mounted hard drive hanging off my 1522, and it was bad enough that
my machine (a 133Mhz AMD 5x86) was missing _keyboard interrupts._
Repeating the same experiment, but ripping to a hard drive on the
ncr53c875 worked as expected with no noticable problems.
Eventually I'll get rid of the 1522, but I've had it all through my linux
experience, and I'll continue to need it until I can afford a properly
terminated 68<->50 SCSI cable. :)
