  I don't know whether Linux uses the same NCR driver code as BSD
  (I know the AIC 7770 code is mostly the same), but from my use on
  my dual P90 system, I haven't seen any problems with the BSD NCR
  driver whatsoever.

  I would recommend it highly.

The Linux NCR 53c810 driver is not as advanced as the BSD driver, and its
author (Drew Eckhardt) does not yet recommend it for production systems.
