The AHA-1542CF works just fine, I use it all the time.  The difference in 
the controllers is that the 40 has just the SCSI while the 42 has a floppy 
interface as well.

The largest drive I've used has been 4.3GB.  Drive size (given the age of 
the controller series) may be your only issue.

I've used the AHA-1542CF and it works perfectly.  I think the 1540CF uses
the same controller chip.  Either that or I'm wrong.
