The 1680 is a complete dog.  Get a real SCSI card.  Adaptec 1540s are well
supported and very inexpensive.  I've you've got a PCI system, pick up
an SC200 (An NCR/Symbios 810 based device_)

If you really want device support for this device, write the drivers
yourself.  Nobody else seems to think that the time investment is worth it
for those cards.
