The 53c400 comes in several versions. The HP ScanJetII version isn't
bootable, IIRC. The only bootable version I know of is the 53c400 caching.
(Yes! There *IS* a caching 53c400 SCSI. I have two.) As to the difference
between NCR5380 and g_NCR5380, uh.. no idea. I just use the NCR53c400
driver in make menuconfig, and it works.
DOS ASPI should be available for the NCR53c400 cards. If you can't find
it, drop me an email privately, and I'll give you a copy. I should still
have it lying around somewhere. :)
