I test the dmx3191d and mac_scsi drivers.

I don't have any hardware with an ISA slot so I take a best-effort 
approach to maintaining those drivers.

I have not heard of anyone actually using dtc, pas16 or t128 so I don't 
mind seeing them removed (along with Documentation/scsi/dtc3x80.txt).

BTW, DTC3x80 support (NCR 53C406 chip I believe) should be easy to do in 
g_NCR5380, which already supports the DTC3181E card.
