Qlogic has a separate architecture and makes their own chips. Orthogonal to NCR/Symbios and Adaptec. I was just mentioning it as a possible viable Target mode platform as opposed to trying to deduce target mode for Adaptec (or, rather, doing the right microengine foo for the undocumented AIC sequencer), or doing the whole NCR/Symbios SCRIPTS foo (which, as best as I can tell, works fitfully and somewhat unpredictably in the at least 20 different OS and target device implementations I've seen it in).
