I must say, after I saw this post, I tried out the latest driver for my own
purposes.
This really improved the performance of my dual PIII-866 w/512MB Ram and
AIC7899 scsi.
I have a couple of cheetah drives that I am writing data that I get off of
an ATM card.(about 12-14 MB/sec rate).
This has significantly lowered the number of dropped packets on the ATM
read.
I would suggest, if at all possible, putting this in the 2.4.2 kernel.

Here at VA we're already using Jason's driver -- it works on the Intel
STL2 motherboard, while Doug's driver doesn't (or didn't, a month ago).
While we're discussing SCSI drivers, I'd also like to put in a good
word for the Sym-2 Symbios/NCR drivers from Gerard Roudier:
