Thanks Elmer. I will give that a try!

I've installed Red Hat 6.2 on a Compaq SystemPro LT and a Prosignia
486 with the NCR53c710-based SCSI controller.  I downloaded the
driver disk and followed the instructions at
http://www.sleepie.demon.co.uk/ncr53c710/index.html

I followed the instructions Richard provided and it worked very well.
The only additional thing I had to do on the installations was
delete the existing sim710.o file in /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/scsi
before copying the sim710.o file from the driver disk to that directory.  If
I didn't
delete the existing file first, the system would not find the scsi
controller.

This particular driver also detects the IRQ automatically, which is just
that much less to type!

Hope this helps.
