Problem loading scsi driver

[Neil Muller]

The only info I can find for Tekram is for their DC390 not the DC315-U. 
Even though they claim Linux compatibility on their packaging, their web 
site doesn't confirm this and they don't provide any of their own 
drivers for it. I downloaded the drivers Tekram say are supposed to 
support the DC315-U on Linux but the files are labelled for for the 
DC390 and when compiled they have unresolved symbols, hence I guess the 
problems I'm having :-) .
