I believe the NCR 53c7xx series (I don't recognize the "53C700-66" in particular, though) are not supported because they are very low end components, for which no one has written a driver. These are the same chips in AMD SCSI/Net ethernet/SCSI chips on the motherboard of some Compaq systems. You should use another card (~US$75 for an NCR 8xx series, one of the best available), or write a driver (for which you will need another working machine, or another card, and docs for the 7xx chips; on the plus side, yyou should be able to use the 8xx driver as a template).
