Good news: I installed Linux on my machine.
Bad news: There was no driver for my SCSI host card, a T160.
Good news: I was hinted that the generic NCR5380 driver worked.
Bad news: It doesn't really; the arbitration/selection hand-
shaking is wrong. (Conflicts with both Trantor's
MsDos and the Mach-3 NCR5380 driver.) I couldn't
use the driver with my second hard disk.
Good news: I have a working driver now, with autodetection and
stuff like that. Interrupts don't work for some
reason (probing the irq# does, though). I don't
have a clue if the host has dma of any kind.
I have to update the driver to 1.3.24 (from *.23) and make it
work as a module also. When I've done that, where do I put it?
I am, of course, naively assuming that it might be worth
including in the general Linux source.

[I think I hold the new Nordic record in kernel-compilations and
reboots per hour now.]
