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 ...)
