WD7296/7193/7197 aren't compatible with WD7000. Instead they use some
RISC chip and a special SCSI-I/O ASIC. There is a project page at
http://home.earthlink.net/~webspot/719x.html

The last version of the very preliminary driver I and Aaron Dewell wrote
is at 
http://schering.si2.uni-hannover.de/stuff/gaertner/WD719X/ 

In the moment I have no time to develop further, but something should be
done if I look to Linux 2.2

Its a PnPray-device, so this may change.
