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