This information is (at least now) in the in-depth link off of 
...fireport40.cfm and the Dual Card page 
(http://www.diamondmm.com/products/current/fireport40dual.cfm). The Fireport
40 is a Symbios Logic 53C875, and the dual-port is a Symbios Logic 53C876.
The 876 is not listed as a supported chip, but the 875 will work just
fine.
