I have a DTC3181E which I am using with a Mustek 600IICD.
I am not convinced that the dtc driver is for that card. However, the
g_NCR5380 appears to have support for this card (not in the README but
if you look at the source code...) You need to supply the correct
parameters to get it working. I'm at work now so I can't remember them
exactly. Something like:

dtc3181e=1 ncr_addr=0x2c0

After that, everything worked perfectly for me. Hope this helps...
