This is a driver for the old NCR 53c80 series of SCSI controllers
on boards using PIO. Most boards such as the Trantor T130 fit this
category, along with a large number of ISA 8bit controllers shipped
for free with SCSI scanners. If you have a PAS16, T128 or DMX3191
you should select the specific driver for that card rather than
generic 5380 support.
It is explained in section 3.8 of the SCSI-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. If it doesn't work out
of the box, you may have to change some settings in
<file:drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.h>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).

The NCR5380 and NCR53c400 SCSI controllers come in two varieties:
