The driver for the 53c720 and 53c770 is the ncr53c8xx---I know, wrong name, but it's had all the 8xx PCI guts removed. It now handles the 53c720 chips in both the zalon (parisc based) and NCRQ720 (MCA based) boards. It should be fairly easy to use this for amiga stuff. The advantage is that it does drive the chip as a multi-threaded scripts engine. James
