The grey beards in the room will have spotted the following:

Block: Tekram DC390(T) and Am53/79C974 SCSI adapters and Western Digital WD7193/7197/7296 SCSI adapters.

This hardware has been supported in mainline for about 20 years. But there is now a new driver that supports all of these adapters with a single code base.

Time for some junk box diving to see if I still have one of those somewhere!
