<EM>&gt; &gt; I don't think that the sym53c8xx driver will work with the 53c80 chip.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; The designs of the old fashioned 5380 and of the more modern 53c8xx chip
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; series are quite different.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Nope, reading the README.ncr53c8xx I understood that the sym53c8xx driver
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; supports some of the functions on newer cards, dropping support for the older
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ones. Since the older drivers will also work with newer cards, I think that one
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; will be best for me.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; But I thought all those ncr SCSI adapters were PCI cards, while mine is an ISA
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; card?
</EM><BR>
<P>Despite the very similar name, a NCR5380 is quite different from NCR53c8xx.
<BR>
The 5380 is a very ancient design (I have an 8bit ISA-card built in 1986
<BR>
with this chip), the 53c8xx is a modern chip designed for PCI. In fact,
<BR>
the chip really provides a PCI bus on one side and a SCSI bus on the other
<BR>
side, so these cards usually consist of just the chip, a clock crystal, a
<BR>
few resistors and capacitors and the SCSI connectors (at least for BIOS-less
<BR>
53c810- and 53c860-based cards). Try the g_NCR5380 driver with your card.
<BR>
<P>Regards,
<BR>
