LVD SCSI card support? (CentOS, AIT)

[abreauj at gmail.com (John Abreau)]

My mistake, it was a 68-pin connector after all.

I recall when the 2.6 kernel first came out, I had trouble upgrading
two old machines that had onboard sym53c8xx controllers, and
I haven't set up a new scsi-based system since then. I once used
an Adaptec 29160 with a 2.4 kernel, and so far, everything I'm finding
on google seems to be from the 2.4 era.

Can anyone confirm whether the 29160 still works with recent
kernels?
