2940x (AIC7xxx chip-based), Qlogic family and Symbios. Those of
you interested in U160 SCSI might want to take a look at an Adaptec
39160 dual channel LVD U160 adapter. Compaq calls this a KZPEA adapter.
Recent Alpha models have SRM versions that can boot from them. In general
be aware of the machine-specific boot-ability issues for the
various adapter models. Where known they are listed in the
individual machine descriptions.</para>
