Is it UR 1394 port physically on MB, item #25 in Major components that
is not working or does the 1394 single port riser not work either? My
MB arrived with the main MB port DOA. My single port riser works fine.
ASUS offered to exchange it for me, but, since my riser is working and
I also have a multi port Adaptec card, I choose not to take the time
and expense(return shipping) to replace it.
