<shameless plug> We have a SA-1110 motherboard with a new PCI bridge
with 4, 32-bit, 33MHz PCI slots, dual USB and accepts standard 168-pin
DIMM PC-100 SDRAM's up to 512MB, DOC and 2 serial ports. It will also
support SA-2 as soon as it released in a few weeks. </shameless plug>
You can plug a PCI firewire card into one of the slots.
