Unfortunately, Digium doesn't provide such a list.
All they provide is a very short list of hardware that is known not to 
work, and support's answer for other hardware  that doesn't seem to work 
is "try another motherboard"

The TDM400 in particular doesn't seem to  work with many motherboards 
that are supposed to be PCI 2.2
Regardless, any Digium board can't stand sharing an interrupt, so make 
sure you have good control of that in the BIOS.
