Yes, it's the TI TMS380C26PQL in my case(s). I have the TR adapter board as
well. But not installed.

Really?! I spent an entire week (I mean the whole week - 12hrs/ day)
looking for something to get these boards to work. There was some
indication that Compaq was sponsoring work on these cards for Linux.
But that Compaq OpenSource sponsorship seems to have mostly vanished. :\

 Sure! I'd love to give it a try.

Thanks!
