In addition to that it just talks of NCR though the chips might be labelled with Symbios. To avoid confusion I suggest changing the man page as show below. >How-To-Repeat: Read the man page and tell me if you really thing this will support a Symbios 53C875. It fortunately does ;-), but is not obious from the man page. >Fix: I just took the numbers the driver spits out during startup and put them into the man page in the hope that the driver doesn't claim more than it really can do. If I'm wrong please don't forget to tell the driver, too that it doesn't work with a certain chip. As I was already changing the man page I changed the description to "53C8xx family" from a plain "53C810" in the NAME section. This is more accurate I think.
