True, but unfortunately I doubt it as the PCI IDs in the tx4650
(partial) sources bear no resemblance to the ones in stex.c.

The tx4650 driver lists 35xx for octopusII, 630x for napa_fpga, 377x/3Fxx
for T3 (the chip in question), and 662x for SX4, whereas stex.c lists
x350/4302 for shasta, 7250 for vsc (vitesse?), and 8650 for yosemite.
