Can anyone tell me what firewire chip my asus a8jp laptop has? This is all device manager gives...
OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0832&SUBSYS_14471043&REV_00\4&3029DB9D&0&00F0

Just in case anyone cares...
It's a ricoh chip.
lspci -v with a linux live cd rocks.

btw the part where it says "VEN_1180&" gives the vendor id as 1180. You can google that kind of stuff. But then you have to dig thru a lot of unhelpful websites to find teh one that actually has a list of PCI vendor ids. Anyway thats what I did. It appears that Ricoh is so new to 1394 chips that none of my 3rd party profilers have any idea who they are. Strange. They have been making other stuff for decades.

Where you want to go is http://www.pcidatabase.com/.
Just fill in the 4 digit vendor code, and it'll tell you.

I think that is the one I ended up at eventually.
