Please don't ever call a TachLite (TL) devices "Tachyon". Tachyon (5000) was the first FC chip made by HP (now Agilent) and was a nightmare to program. TachLite (5100/5166) had a simpler programming model and fewer bugs. TachLite XL2 chips (5200) use the same programming model. > See, it's quite easy to see if a PCI card seems to be supported:-) Yes, but sometimes it's easier to start with "lspci -n" output. cpqfc code suggests it supports all Tachlite HBAs. But it depends on GBIC/HBA configuration and HPUX folks haven't been interested in making cpqfc work with their XL2 HBA. Jes Sorensen/Martin Petersen did get older (5100/5166) TL HBAs from HP working with cpqfc driver. grant
