The 53c700 driver is a bit misnamed, it also has a 710 mode which is set by a flag. It's actually in common use driving three different chipsets: 53c700: parisc 715 machines 53c700-66: Voyager systems 53c710: Voyager and parisc 712 systems For the 53c720, we're using the ncr53c8xx driver on both voyager and parisc.
