Hmm, seems that there is a problem. However, a timeout is not necessarily
caused by the low level SCSI driver (the adapter specific) but maybe by
the mid-level code.
Can you change the line #define DC390_DEBUG in line 32 into #define
DC390_DEBUG0, recompile the driver and send me the debug output generated?
(Should be in your syslog.)
