So far Richard's idea seems the best bet.  I looked at the ncr5380
drivers and in kernel 2.0.30 they have actually been patched to support
the ncr53c400.  So, I had to do some serious work to get a working
Debian boot disk (they have some good ideas on making Linux easier to
install, but still need to work some kinks out) with a kernel that had
support for the ncr53c400 compiled in.  But anyway, I did get what
seemed to be a working disk, but when I boot with it I get a:

scsi0: SCSI bus busy, waiting up to five seconds
scsi0: bus busy, attempting abort

So what to do now?

Thanks,
Chris
