+detect and read serial NVRAM
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_NVRAM_DETECT
+  Enable support for reading the serial NVRAM data on Symbios and
+  some Symbios compatible cards, and Tekram DC390W/U/F cards. Useful for
+  systems with more than one Symbios compatible controller where at least
+  one has a serial NVRAM, or for a system with a mixture of Symbios and
+  Tekram cards. Enables setting the boot order of host adaptors
+  to something other than the default order or "reverse probe" order. 
+  Also enables Symbios and Tekram cards to be distinguished so
+  CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT may be set in a system with a
+  mixture of Symbios and Tekram cards so the Symbios cards can make use of
+  the full range of Symbios features, differential, led pin, without
+  causing problems for the Tekram card(s).
+      (added by Richard Waltham: dormouse@farsrobt.demon.co.uk)
+  Also enables setting host and targets SCSI features as defined in the 
+  user setup for each host using a serial NVRAM (added by the maintainer).
+  The default answer is N, the normal answer should be Y.
+  Read drivers/scsi/README.ncr53c8xx for more information.

-  This option allows you to enable some features depending on GPIO wiring.

-  features or implementation of the standard SYMBIOS features.
-  Genuine SYMBIOS boards use GPIO0 in output for controller LED and GPIO3
