Booya!

Got a pic of the card? I have a rev 'A' of the card (in blue, not red) with the 2x3 fullsize ports and a 'HINT' PCI bridge chip, seemed to work OK on an O2, but I think it crashed the Fuel outright.

Thy wish is my command, sir ! In this case remember red=bad, blue = good

edit : I wonder if the red one is a fraud ? the packaging was very good if it was .... but no logo on the card ? unusual for adaptec ?

Okay, got a AUA-3020 to try. Looks identical to the blue one in hamei's post, right down to the sticker on the USB chip.

It sort of works in my Tezro. After making the pciio_multimaster_override change, I do get both USB and FireWire showing up in 'hinv' (and the USB mouse I tried works), but I get the following during boot:

Code:
Sep 17 12:23:38 4A:Kazehana unix: WARNING: FireWire PHY Read Error (rdDone timed out).

Since that's kind of annoying and adds considerably to the startup time, I pulled the card back out. Almost works though :)

@Dr. Dave - this one has a HINT PCI bridge. Hamei's may as well, but looks like the camera ate it (chip to the right of the TI FireWire controller).

Interesting. Is yours in a fast slot or a slow slot ? Mine's in the 33 mhz slot.

Any chance to try it in the Fuel ?

There aren't any "slow" slots on a Tezro :)

I'll probably just put it in the Fuel before I ship it to its new home. The USB was nice though - need to track down a stand-alone NEC card that works.

I don't know a lot about Tezro's, but I know a fair bit about FireWire and device drivers. Your problem starts here:

The code has trouble to read the PHY (PIO register read), and cannot complete a bus topology so you may have DMA issues as well. Unless somethis is screwed up in a major way with the bridge chip (in which case the USB would fail too), this can't really be due to the PCI bus it's plugged into. Actually, this card may simply have a busted PHY; care to try in a PC or something like that?

Just for the heck of it I changed to the other slot. Works fine there also. Most likely Jan-Jaap is right, as usual.

Well I did some testing and it works fine in a Fuel, just not a Tezro or O350. Must be something to do with the PCI-X bus.

That's a pisser. But doesn't a Tezro have a lot more pci slots than a Fuel ? So it's not as big a problem as for us poor Fool users ?

Maybe it's time to clean this thread up a bit, too. Sorry I added in a bunch of junk that doesn't really belong here :oops:

Yeah, I have plenty of slots. I was mostly interested in a working USB card since the NEC based card I picked up doesn't work at all.

This may be useless info but what I've noticed so far is that the newer 4 +1 port cards do not work. In fact, they redlight the Fool. The two-porter I tried worked fine. This combo card has a two (actually three) port chip and works fine. So maybe it's either that the older chips work or that the larger number of ports do not ? The 4-port Belkin only saw two ports ?

There are a few Logitech combo cards with the correct chips, too. They want $20 for 'em here tho so Mr Cheapskate is not gonna try since the 'daptec works for me.

One that does not work: MacPower FireWire 800 card. Hey, I could try, after all, it's red :lol:

The card is a fairly common design, OEM-ed by several companies. It has a TSB82AA2 OHCI chip, and a TSB81BA3 PHY.

Apple iTouch. Six computers in our office, my Fuel is the only one which will recharge the Assistant's iTouch. Fuel makes one hell of a high-powered battery charger.

I tried an AUA-3020 (Blue PCB, all full-sized ports, looks just like the above) in my Fuel, without much success :(

Trying to boot the system, I repeatedly get the following, even after re-seating the card:

The slot appears to be fine, as an older 3-port Firewire card work in the same position.

(I do already have 'pciio_multimaster_override' set, for the existing Firewire card which I tried replacing with the AUA-3020... this couldn't trigger this problem could it?)

Are you sure ? It says it's not. Did you do "pciio_multimaster_override" or "piciio_multimaster_override =1" or similar ? Its been a long time but when I first installed, got the same result as you. Played with pciio_multimaster and came up fine on reboot. And yours is complaining about that so it doesn't seem to be correct ....
