Okay, we've got success using ncr53c8xx finally, with NVram. However, I've
found another bug that's going to drive me nuts.

I have it set to 32cmds/lun via make menuconfig! GAH! *pout* Oh well,
everything's working a HELL of a lot faster now. Anybody want an AHA1520B
clone, sans BIOS? Works with Linux! Only, uh, $10+Shipping! :)
