I also suggest to be _very_ suspicious with Winbond integrated
chips (they are often met on VLB MIO cards and on not-so-recent
486 motherboards). I don't have one handy for exact chip model
reference, sorry; but AFAIK ASUS SP3G motherboard is,
for example, equipped with one.
Just 2-3 days ago one of that Winbond chips hit me once again
on a friend's machine. Mouse works fine, tests are Ok,
but just anything requiring bidirectional full-duplex transfers
(UUCP, SLIP, even Fidonet mailer) just doesn't work.
