Tachyon chips are all over the place on cards from a multitude of
vendors. The list I provided represents the pile of HP cards I have
in my lab.

Only the Compaq board is really supported.
The HP TL board happens to work if you don't care about using a valid
WWN on your SAN. The XL2 board doesn't actually work at all.
Technically it's not correct to refer to 0x1028 and 0x1029 as TACHYON
and TACHLITE. Both of them are TachLite. To my knowledge Tachyon
proper doesn't have a PCI interface, so there's probably a glue chip
on the HPFC-5000 boards out there.
These are the right identifiers:
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_HP_TACH_TL 0x1028
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_HP_TACH_XL2 0x1029
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_HP_TACH_TS 0x102a
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_COMPAQ_TACHYON 0xa0fc
pciids.sf.net has them right. It's just the kernel pci_ids.h that's a
bit out of whack.
Some day I'll insert my cards one by one and get all the subsystem ids
right.
Unlike most cards the subsystem id matters in this case as each vendor
may wrap their boards differently in terms of Flash/ROM interface,
onboard RAM, SERDES, GBIC interface, etc.
HP TL/XL2 HBA:
I'm currently mucking with extracting WWNs from the HP boards.
Compaq FC HBA:
Supporting this board shouldn't be a problem as the I2C NVRAM
interface is documented in cpqfcTS.
InterPhase 55x6:
These boards are documented in the ancient iphase driver.
Agilent:
My hope is that Agilent's own boards are using the reference
designs and consequently should be easy to support.
Adaptec:
I think Adaptec's boards were OEM'ed from Agilent. Probably
just a different ROM.
These are the board vendors I know off the top of my head. There may
well be more.
(I'm going to put all this on a webpage later today)
