"Atari NCR5380 SCSI driver", please. I don't think the word "generic" 
applies here. It was a reference to the "generic NCR5380 driver by Drew 
Eckhardt" from which specialized drivers like this one were derived.

"Generic NCR5380/NCR53C400 SCSI driver" please.

This driver actually describes itself as "generic generic NCR5380 driver" 
which appears to be a joke. The term "generic" was used to mean universal 
i.e. intended to cover every ISA card implementation.

There are now three MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros here.

"Macintosh NCR5380 SCSI driver", please.

Three macros here also.
