Okay, it's funfact time;

The Tekram DC390F is a PCI SCSI-UW Controller
The Tekram DC390F uses the SymBios/NCR 3C5875 chipset

We're using 2.1.98 here. Tekram DC390 and NCR3C58xx drivers both ready, as
well as hacked AHA152x.

Uhh.. HUH!? Now, I haven't had the opprotunity to work with the NCR
drivers (yet), and already I'm getting scared. What exactly is going on
here? Anybody? *whimper* I wanna use my new SCSI card! ;(
