Because it's junk that doesn't belong, and can't even be use, in a
modern operating system. For some perspective...

Apple Mac Pro:
  8-way 3.0GHz Intel Xeon  ( 24 GHz )
   16GB System RAM
   NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB

Now for some contrast, the AHA-1542:
  Supported Operating Systems: MS-DOS 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
  Number of devices: Up to 7 devices under DOS 5.0
  Bus System Interface Type: ISA
  Hard Disk Capacity: Up to 8 GBytes per disk
  Floppy Drive Support: Supports two 5.25 in. floppy drives
  Release Date: 1987
  Status:  Discontinued

Revision 1.33: Jan 2005 (2 years, 2 months ago) by imp

Final attempt to make aha 1542A working.  If not, oh well, I don't
have the card and no way to reproduce problems.  We do this by
applying the workaround to firmware revsion 0.
