I tried for 2 months to get a FirePort 40 dual in this country, and I was told they no longer were made, and nobody had any. Further, they were willing to sell me a single channel board for AU$360, which is about US$220. And that, of course, is robbery! Who can sell me one at this sweet price? Oh, and the 876 should probe as two separate 875's, even though it's just one chip, because it is a multi function PCI device. That means it should be even better than 2x 875's and a bridge chip.
