A friend of mine recently bought a Northgate (386) with the 
Adaptec 1542B.   He thought that AT&T UNIX was the way to go
but (after it was paid for) found that this configuration wouldn't work.
AT&T told him that the only SCSI board the AT&T OS will support
is the Weston Digital 7000.  Otherwise you are S.O.L.  (Sh*t Outta Luck)

He then bought SCO which he is happy with....

He's still looking for someone who wants to buy an AT&T Unix/386
operating system and development package real cheap if anyone 
wants it....
