I did not send it to Alan for inclusion yet, as I'm waiting a tester who
reported a problem to report success before.

So, Debian can not ask you to test an updated boot floppy any more and so
they won't upgrade ...

Both work just fine. The sym53c8xx is slightly more optimized for current
Symbios chips than the ncr53c8xx, but I doubt that you will be able to
measure the difference. Don't use the tmscsiw that Tekram offers (or used to
offer, I did not check recently) at their web site.
Ask G=E9rard for details, if you really need to know it.
