The version of the driver that works on the 7895 chipset under linux is the
aic7xxx-5.0.x driver series.  The patches can be found at ftp.dialnet.net in
/pub/linux/aic7xxx.  These patches are against 2.0.33, so you'll need to
downgrade your kernel.  As for any options, just check the README.aic7xxx
file in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi after you have applied the patch.
