I have a working NCR 53c810 controller driver for NetBSD 1.0, if
anybody needs a copy. (It's one by Wolfgang Stanglmeier and Stefan
Esser, dated 95.02.21, pl16.) I've been using it since about that
date, and it works just fine for me.

I use an ASUS PVI-486SP3 motherboard with the matching PCI SCSI
controller.
