The 1542 is a bus-mastering controller. This 1522 is not. That makes
the 1542 much faster (at least in a protected-mode OS like Linux, with
properly written drivers).
Given this difference, my inclination is that modifying the 1542 driver
to work with the 1522 *could* be significant work. (Or not, depending
on how far-sighted Adaptec is).
