I picked up a firewire card with an Adaptec 5800AP
chip on it. Of course since Adaptec always has the
'brilliant' idea of giving their products names that
have absolutely nothing in common with the numbers on
their chips...

...some hours later I discover Adaptec's nickname for
the 5800AP is AHA-8940... and their Website has no
drivers at all for this. Then I discovered they made
an AHA-8945, which is an AHA-2940 SCSI controller with
the 5800AP chip added. Their website for some reason
known only to them only has Macintosh drivers for the
AHA-8945.

I found a Microsoft KB article that says if their
drivers for the "8940" are causing trouble, use the
ones provided by the manufacturer. Um, yeah, that'd be
"Nameless Company Too Lazy To Put Any Identifying
Marks On Our Products", or "Adaptec, Expensive
Products That Work Great, Until We Decide They No
Longer Exist And Remove The Drivers From Our Website".
