I'm sure if you searched the hardware/scsi/questions mailing list archives
you would find lots of references to this not being supported under CAM
(the new SCSI subsystem that came in with 3.0). Despite the notes on the
3.2 CD-ROM set, I don't think that it is supported under 3.2, as I've just
had a look around the kernel source tree of my recently installed 3.2
system, and while there appears to be a Tekram DC-390 (uses 53c974
apparently) driver - scsiiom.c in scsi/ - it appears to be for <3.0
kernels... :-(
I have a vague recollection of Jordan mentioning that there should be a
somewhat rough but mostly functional driver in 3.3. Apart from trying to
confirm this via searching the above mentioned mailing lists, you should
try just downloading the 3.3 kernel and mfsroot floppy images and seeing
whether it is recognised.
