The PCI cards yes.

X1032A is the Sun option-number for the "Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter",
which is listed in the hme(4) man page. Sun option-numbers are usually
the best way to reference a certain card because the names ("SunSwift",
"GigaSwift", etc.) are often confusing and usually multiple part-umbers
exists for one card (e.g. 501-2741 and 501-5656 for the X1032A).
It don't know what the best way to deal with this in the hme(4) man page
(and similar for gem(4), isp(4), sym(4), etc.) would be. If you know one
let me know and I'll help you to dig out the Sun option- and part-numbers.
