Just to second this - the Symbios 875 will NOT work with the ncr53c75xx,8xx driver, even though it seems like it should. What's worse, if you choose that driver, `make config' does not give you the option to choose the ncr53c8xx driver instead, so you night never realise it exists. I struggled with this for about a day :) Perhaps this should be noted in the driver description? -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
