Quick question for the gurus:
This "DTC 3181x/3151x" controller (as Windoze calls it) came with a
AcerScan Prisa 310S scanner I received for Christmas.
The writing on the chip looks like:
DTCT-436P
9737
002-D436P-001
I was rather disappointed after reading in the SCSI-HOWTO the stuff about
non-disclosure vs. GPL etc. and that non NCR53c8xx DTC boards will never
work, but was curious when I found a device driver for a DTC board in the
kernel source.

The plot thickens. Forgive me if I missed out on something here, but should
I shell out $25|30 for a generic card, rather than learning to write a
device driver? I mean, I enabled general scsi support in the 2.0.33 kernel
to see if it would detect my card, which it didn't.

And if a generic card is worth looking at, can somebody recommend one with
good support under Linux? I'm more comfortable with software than
hardware.
