Hello ,
I just prepared here a small firewall and ADSL-gateway
system. I use an older DEC Multia (intel pentium 100 Mc)
It has a very small scsi-controller with the chip ncr53c810
I'm using kernel 2.2.18 and if i select the ncr53c8xx driver
in the config then it seems to work but gives problems when I
make a system backup to a scsi dat-tape (time outs - resets etc..)
Now everything is stable with the 53c7,8xx driver.
Don't know if the sym53c8.. chip can use the same driver ?
