The linux driver requires coherent memory to work (typically non-cached), and that feature isn't provided across all PARISC CPU flavours. In theory your 725/100 supports that and so should work. fwiw, the CPU in 735 doesn't support coherent memory, which is why my attempt to add support for 53c720 on 735 (outfield) failed. Richard
