Linux SCSI driver for sym53c416 (p1 of 6)

   Linux SCSI driver for sym53c416

    (c) 1998, 1999 Lieven Willems

   Introduction

   On this page you'll find a linux driver for SCSI boards based on the
Symbios Logic sym53c416 chip. This is the card
   included with some of HP's ScanJet flatbed scanners (e.g. ScanJet 5P and
ScanJet 6100C). The driver is written for the
   2.0.xx and 2.1.xx series of linux kernels and currently tested on the
2.0.30, 2.0.35, 2.0.36 and 2.1.131 kernels only.
