Haven't tried that specific one, but the NCR53c810's are wonderful cards -
dirt cheap, with great performance. You find them all over the place. How
much was yours, from where? Can you boot off it?

Support's so good that you've got a choice of three drivers. ::-)

As gleaned from the kernel compilation help ;
NCR53c7,8xx:	Supports the 53c810, but recommends using one of the
		newer drivers
NCR53c8XX:	Should work nicely. Ported from BSD sources.
SYM53c8XX:	Based on NCR53c8XX. Should work very nicely indeed,
		though it's dropped support for some older 53c810
		cards.

More info in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/README.ncr53c8xx .
