I suspect this will turn out as it did for me when I tried to do
something similar with the Symbios Logic 53c500 version of the New Media
Bus Toaster :-).  Since you presumably have access to the card, you're in
the best position to do further development and testing on the driver.

Maybe the other one or two people running Linux who have one of these
beasts will come forward and volunteer to help with the testing, but the
53c500 version was supposedly newer (circa 1997), so the odds aren't
good.  Even so, I'd say please submit the driver.  I wouldn't trade my
experience with the driver development process for anything: it was fun
and I learned a lot.
