Yes you're absolutely right, sorry, I'll go ahead and do that to see if anyone else's ever experienced this. It might very well be the mobo itself.
Thanks again for the great work in any case! You should let Sonnet know about this, who knows :)
Cheers!
I confirm that this works with the Tango 2.0 PCI (latest version) on a PM 5500, both USB and firewire enabled! Many thanks @cheesestraws! Also just to confirm that with the OrangeLink PCI USB+FW, only USB shows up in System Profiler, outside of the device tree, just as with the Tango 2.0.

However, the card works...
I have tried with USB 1.5.6 with the Belkin F5U508 PCI rev 3.0 in a PM 5500 but to no avail, even with extra power to the card. And even with the "USB mass storage" extensions from previous builds which seems to be absent from 1.5.6 at least as it is distributed with OS 9.2.2; I had to inject...
Dear all,
So as a follow-up on EvilCapitalists suggestion that some of the cards might require additional power to be fully functional (i.e. both Firewire and USB working), I had a go with a Belkin F5U508 PCI rev 3.0 on a PM 5500, drawing power to the molex connector on the card from the hard...
