Well, if that's the case, the best thing to do is just try the card out and see if it works. It might help if you can figure out what kind of chip is on there. The DTC 3130 is listed as supported by the NCR driver (in the handbook and release notes), and from the DTC web site, it appears that that card has a Symbios chip on it. As for their other products, I have no idea whether they'll work. (They certainly don't come right out and say what sort of chips they use.) Is this a PCI or ISA card? What sort of chip is on the board? If it is an ISA card, the two ISA cards listed on DTC's web page claim that they're 100% compatible with Adaptec 1510/1520 boards. If that's what you have, you're out of luck, since the aic driver hasn't been rewritten for CAM yet.
