I have a dual Symbios 53C1010 controller on a Tyan board (2500) and
it works perfectly with the sym53c8xx module for kernels 2.2.18/19
and 2.4.3/4/5. All functions appear to work correctly. I have
several 10K drives on one channel and CDrom, CDwriter and HP tape
on the other. Note that this controller is secondary as the main
controller is a Mylex RAID. The driver docs specifically mention the
1010.
