<EM>&gt; I don't think that the sym53c8xx driver will work with the 53c80 chip.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The designs of the old fashioned 5380 and of the more modern 53c8xx chip
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; series are quite different.
</EM><BR>
<P>Nope, reading the README.ncr53c8xx I understood that the sym53c8xx driver
<BR>
supports some of the functions on newer cards, dropping support for the older
<BR>
ones. Since the older drivers will also work with newer cards, I think that one
<BR>
will be best for me.
<BR>
<P>But I thought all those ncr SCSI adapters were PCI cards, while mine is an ISA
<BR>
card? Maybe I'm wrong here, but the kernel menuconfig &lt;Help&gt; says about the
<BR>
NCR53C8XX driver that &quot;This is the BSD ncr driver adapted to Linux for the
<BR>
NCR53C8XX family of PCI-SCSI controllers&quot;. Don't know the difference with the
<BR>
NCR53c7,8xx driver, but PCI is not mentioned there, perhaps that one will work.
<BR>
<P>I still doubt it, since the sane-scsi manpage claims that most Mustek scanners
<BR>
are shipped with lousy ISA SCSI cards and that you'll probably be better off
<BR>
with buying a cheap NCR card... *shrugs* I'll try, still. I figure, if it works
<BR>
fine under Windows, why can't it work allright under Linux? It's not like, a
<BR>
winscanner ;)
