I've uploaded patches against Linux 1.2.10 for the NCR53c810 driver to
bring the driver up to release 8 to
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHAscsi/ncr53c810/diffs.rel8.gz
Please see
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHAscsi/ncr53c810/README
before applying these patches.
For the most part, the changes from rel7 are fairly subtle -
the right magic happens when you send old SCSI-I devices a
SDTR message and they don't appreciate it; the DMA FIFO is only
flushed once if need be; diagnostic messages are a bit better,
etc.
The big change is that internally, the queue handling code has undergone
major rearrangement to avoid kernel stack overflow problems in odd cases.
