It looks as if you have a good chance for advansys.

[root at xtl2 root]# find / -print | grep advansys | snip&edit
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.332/drivers/scsi/advansys.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.332/drivers/scsi/advansys.h
....
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.332/build/include/config/scsi/advansys/module.h
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.332/unsupported/drivers/scsi/advansys.ko

I also see it included on the oldest 2.6 stuff I still have handy
(2.6.5-1.308) so it is not new and has a chance of having
been tested.

As always remember that test is test... stuff breaks.  But the best
way to learn the nuts and bolts of things is to work with stuff that
breaks from time to time.
