Where is my /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0 ??

I thought I would test the tagged command queuing
feature of my NCR810 but *sigh*. I am completely
missing the file /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0 to which
the commands are supposed to be redirected as input.
I don't know when did this file disappear but it
was there a while ago. Now all I have is /proc/scsi/ncr53c7xx/0
which gives: 'The driver does not yet support the proc-fs'
when trying to read it (which makes sense? because the name
suggests that it is for 7xx cards). I am running Slackware 3.0.0
with allmost everything updated and the kernel is 2.0.5.

Here is what the driver outputs at startup:

scsi-ncr53c7,8xx : at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
scsi-ncr53c7,8xx : NCR53c810 at memory 0xc4000000, io 0x1000, irq 11

scsi : 1 host.

scsi0 : setting target 0 to asynchronous SCSI
Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST31230N Rev: 0594

scsi : detected 1 SCSI disk total.
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 2069860 [1010 MB] [1.0GB]

What's my problem? Anyone?
