Never seen such a thing. Had similar problem with non-bootable PCI SATA and GigE interfaces. Not bootable because machine BIOS is too old and does not have a "driver" for the newer chip on your board. So in order to be bootable, the PCI card would have to have an EPROM/flash chip that contains the required BIOS bits. This makes a bootable USB interface should be easy to identify by photograph - in addition to the PCI<->USB bridge chip, it will have one more chip for the BIOS. -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!
