Hep me!! scsi adapter DOS drivers (ot?)

I'm not certain about the "-CF" and "-CP" versions, but ISTR reading that
ALL AHA154x adapters use the same drivers and utility set. In fact, my
experience has been that ALL AHA-anythings use the same utility set. That's
remarkably efficient, considering that the ADAPTEC folks have been doing
this since the mid-80's, which is when I got my first AHA154x adapter. Has
anybody got examples of anything that doesn't work that way with ADAPTEC's
ASPI drivers (ASPI?DOS.SYS, ASPIDISK.SYS, ASPICD.SYS) and utilities (e.g.
AFDISK, SCSIFMT, etc.) for DOS?

Maybe that explains why ADAPTEC was able to swallow up all their
competitors.
