If the irq parameter is 0 or 255 +then no IRQ will be used. + +The NCR53c400 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is +supported by the driver. + +This driver provides some information on what it has detected in +/proc/scsi/g_NCR5380/x where x is the scsi card number as detected at boot +time.
