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. >>
For the dual-channel UW-SCSI cards, ASP reports them as an unknown multimedia card, or something equally as silly, even though these ATTO cards were made for Apple, and were included in some of the higher performance "new world" machines. These cards have two independent SCSI buses, all housed within one LSI chip. So, I would expect that the LSI incorporates the bridge function as well. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
