This is correct. Part of the reason is/may be that Firewire cards have no on-board firmware for the firewire, it's all dependent on drivers loaded by the OS. The other reason, in this case, is that the combination cards use a PCI-PCI Bridge chip to make one PCI slot look like two (or in the case of hte Trio, three). ASP just doesn't see things on the other side of a PCI-PCI Bridge. It should be able to, but it doesn't. For example, in the S900, where the lower four slots are all behind a PPB, only slots A1 and B1 display correctly in ASP. Slot C1 is shown as having a PPB installed, and there might be a tiny bit of information about one of the cards in the lower four slots.
