For what it's worth, I have a Diamond Fireport Dual which
has a symbios SYM53C876 on it. 
It runs fine with a variety of SCSI devices under 2.2.6.

The probe sees it as two 53c875 devices.

 ncr0 <ncr 53c875 fast20 wide scsi> rev 20 int a irq 10 on pci0:12:0
 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle

 ncr1 <ncr 53c875 fast20 wide scsi> rev 20 int a irq 10 on pci0:12:1
 ncr1 waiting for scsi devices to settle

Regards,
Mostyn
