   Hello Ton,
 I don't know about the 16 may version, but the 21th version contain
 the ncr driver, but not the sym one according to:

$ pwd
/home/ftp/pub1/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/3.0.23-2002-05-21/prep
$ zgrep 53c8 sysmap.gz 
c0053c88 t get_env
c011dd7c t ncr53c8xx_select_queue_depths
c011de94 T ncr53c8xx_queue_command
c011df40 t ncr53c8xx_intr
c011e050 t ncr53c8xx_timeout
c011e128 T ncr53c8xx_reset
c011e244 T ncr53c8xx_abort
c011ebf4 t ncr53c8xx_proc_info
c011ec94 T ncr53c8xx_info
c0173da8 D ncr53c8xx_lock
c0173eb4 d proc_scsi_ncr53c8xx
c018b914 t sym53c8xx__setup
c018bd44 t sym53c8xx_pci_init
c018c1dc t sym53c8xx__detect
c018e2d0 T ncr53c8xx_setup
c018e2f0 T ncr53c8xx_detect

 The sym53c8xx_ entries are from
 drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_comm.h
 which is included in the ncr driver:

$ cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18
$ find . -type f | xargs grep sym53c8xx_comm.h | grep include
./drivers/scsi/ncr53c8xx.c:#include "sym53c8xx_comm.h"

 The ncr driver supports:

$ grep -A12  'Supported N' drivers/scsi/ncr53c8xx.c
**      Supported NCR/SYMBIOS chips:
**              53C810          (8 bits, Fast SCSI-2, no rom BIOS) 
**              53C815          (8 bits, Fast SCSI-2, on board rom BIOS)
**              53C820          (Wide,   Fast SCSI-2, no rom BIOS)
**              53C825          (Wide,   Fast SCSI-2, on board rom BIOS)
**              53C860          (8 bits, Fast 20,     no rom BIOS)
**              53C875          (Wide,   Fast 20,     on board rom BIOS)
**              53C895          (Wide,   Fast 40,     on board rom BIOS)
**              53C895A         (Wide,   Fast 40,     on board rom BIOS)
**              53C896          (Wide,   Fast 40,     on board rom BIOS)
**              53C897          (Wide,   Fast 40,     on board rom BIOS)
**              53C1510D        (Wide,   Fast 40,     on board rom BIOS)
**

 Hope that helps.
