Any updates on this? I have a 2nd NCR 53c810 lying on top of my Pentium 
and an external case holding right now 2 CD-ROMs and a DAT drive 
standing by. Does it work or will I shoot myself into the foot? For now a
single NCR controller handling 3 HDs and one CD-ROM works fine for me, but
I want to seperate the slow devices (can you say disconnect? ;-) and add 
more HDs to the "main" controller. 

Is there a 1.2.12 planned which will include your patches as 1.2.11 
does not have them?

Speaking of patches, patch barfed on:

as my 1.2.10 sources don't have a "#if 0 ... #else" up there but just
a "#if 0 ... #endif" around the the "Disable HTH interrupt" part...
