I would not recommend the reflashed 7722 for Amigas. They work for a while, eventually throwing HDD read/write errors. That is on WarpEngine, CSPPC, A4091 and on a Fastlane. I tried every combination of LVD/SE termination, terminating with SCSI-2 active terminators, with an SSD, mechanical HDDs, CF adapters.
I could successfully copy many gigabytes which made me think it was working fine but run the system long enough and it will lead to errors.
Eventually I found enough 7720s to replace them and all of my problems went away.
