No, they are not supported.  However, I doubt whether the Prosignia
series (200, I assume?) uses that controller.  I thought they optionally
were delivered with an AIC7880 or so (Adaptec 2940 etc.).

In general, Compaq uses these "Smart" names (like NetFlex etc. for
Ethernet controllers) for various different controllers, sometimes
with a completely different chipset.  First check the real chipset...
