Hmm, looked at the page:
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tomcatn3400b.html
I get the impression from the two SKU lines, that you either get
firewire and audio, or you get graphics, but that there is no SKU that
has both. Maybe the page is wrong and they have more SKUs or I just
don't understand what they are trying to say.

The SMSC is just a super io chip. Those are usually generic (parallel
and serial ports are generic on PCs really.)

The ones I can easily find for sale are:
http://www.8anet.com/merchant.ihtml?pid=28&lastcatid=5&step=4 S2925A2NRF
http://www.8anet.com/merchant.ihtml?pid=29&lastcatid=5&step=4 S2925G2NR
As for as I can tell in the product codes, A = audio, G = graphics, N =
networking, R = raid, F = firewire.
Which ones have you found for sale?
