work) or reduce SCSI buffer size to 32 kB.

NCR/Symbios 53c400/53c400a or Domex DTC3181E/L/LE (DTCT436/436P) ISA SCSI card
This card is supplied by Mustek (and other vendors). If you use Linux 2.0.x
you may
need a patch from Ingmar Baumgart's homepage:

The SCSI cards are supported by the module g_NCR5380. It's necessary to tell
the kernel the io port and type of card. Example for a 53c400a: ``modprobe
g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x280 ncr_53c400a=1''. Once the kernel detects the card,
it should work all right. However, while it should work, do not expect good
performance out of this card---it has no interrupt line and therefore while a
scan is in progress, the system becomes almost unusable. You may change the
values of the USLEEP macros in drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c. Some documentation is
in this file and NCR5380.c.
