Thanks for your response.

Whilst USB would not be an ideal solution for this machine, it may be a 
solution to another problem.   I wanted to shift my 1-Wire weather station onto 
my SB100, using a 4-port Stallion card (same Linux driver as the big one, I 
believe).  USB would be a good solution here as USB to 1-Wire adapters are 
available.  (I have one with an FTDI chipset - unfortunately not listed.)  I 
may see if I can get hold of one of the compatible chips and make myself up an 
adapter.

Someone kindly forwarded my messages to the drivers list and I have been 
advised by someone that they are considering writing a driver for the PCI 
device - which would be the perfect solution for me.

I will just be patient on migrating my server (it is going to be a pretty huge 
job anyway) and have a look at the USB solution for my Blade.
