That seems to be right.

The WD-7000 (which does a few different chipsets) seems to be compiled
in to the standard Debian kernel. It's just the low-level driver for
the hardware anyway.

I can't help you much here. Are there any jumpers on the card? Is
there any writing on it describing it? Model numbers of the chips
with the most legs could help someone to identify the card too.
It might not be supported. :-(

If it worked typing (e.g.)
boot: linux tmc8xx=0x300,10
you can put and append= in lilo.conf.

Is it a PCI device? Does anything relevant show in /proc/pci? How
about the BIOS setup, if it's an integrated card?

*Any* SCSI CD-ROM should work if the adapter is recognised.
