I'd rather leave it where it is.
You can set the default number of tags to 0
using a kernel config file option:
options "SCSI_NCR_DFLT_TAGS=0"
Then you can use "ncrcontrol -t 0 -t 1 -s tags=4"
to enable tags on those drives that actually
support them ...
The definition of MAX_START should be changed
into:
#define MAX_START (MAX_TARGET + 15 * MAX_TAGS)
as it already is in my development sources,
or you may find that "ncrcontrol" claims to
be incompatible with your kernel ...
As soon as Justin Gibbs new SCSI code is used,
the situation will change significantly, anyway.
The new generic code knows about tags, and it is
possible to add device specific "quirk" entries.
(Which would disable tags for those HP drives,
for example.)

PS: You are of course free to put a static
ncrcontrol binary into /sbin. I just do
not want this to become the default ...
