I have one of those (but it definitely it not a Mac version). I don't
actually use it, so I took out the 2906 and replaced it with the 2940. Not
sure exactly what version it is. I don't have a 7600, but a fairly old 400MHz
G4 Yikes!

It seems to handle my old scsi drive fine (connected to the 50 pin connector):

Anyone interested in a mklinux installation dating back to early 2000 ?

I'm definitely not an expert here, but I dont think linux uses the onboard
ROM anyway, so it shouldn't matter. If you do want to use it with MacOS,
you should get a Mac version.

I only have a malfunctioning HP DDS 2 tape drive.
