Winbond is the chipset on alot of different add-in boards. Printer ports
usually have them along with some sound cards and 3rd party Hard-Drive
controller cards(I think SIIG uses them). Don't worry you don't have to use
Wynderz in order to use the device or card. Basically that Winbond message
is says yea, this thing is working fine, unless you see it followed by a red
[FAILED] over on the right side of the screen or some arcane cryptic spew
that looks alot like the stuff your printer spits out when not set up
properly. Hope this was helpful.
