-force asynchronous transfer mode
-CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_FORCE_ASYNCHRONOUS
-  This option allows you to force asynchronous transfer mode for all
-  SCSI devices at linux startup. You can enable synchronous
-  negotiation with the "setsync" control command after boot-up, for
-  example:
-     echo "setsync 2 25" >/proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0

-disable scsi parity checking
-CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_DISABLE_PARITY_CHECK
-  Parity on scsi bus is a system option. If one device checks parity,
-  then all devices on the scsi bus must generate parity.  However, the
-  parity can be ignored by the scsi devices.  Answer Y only if you
-  know what you are doing.  The normal answer therefore is N.
