2.6 Coexisting with Symbios 53C810/53C860-based Card

[1]

 

When you use DC-310/U or other Symbios 53C810 cards having EEPROM built on
board with DC-390U/F/U2B/U2W, please only use tekram driver.

[2] If you use DC-310/U only or with other none-Symbios chip card , you have to use
      Symbios driver, not Tekram driver. (The latest Symbios driver can get from LSI’S web
      site http://www.lsi.com.)

[3] Other cards with 53C810 chip (without EEPROM) can not co-exist with
      DC-390U/F/U2B/U2W.
