The 53c7xx chips could be 
added without much effort.

But they are very uncommon
in the PC compatible world.
(There is just one system 
from Siemens/Nixdorf that 
has on the mother board.)
Only very few people would 
be able to use that driver.

Send me the hardware and 
the technical specification
(i.e. ports/IRQ/DMA used),
and I'll try to modify the
53c8xx driver. (The 7xx
lacks some features that 
have been taken advantage
of in the 8xx driver ...)
