It works well on real hardware and it worked well for me in WinUAE.

It looks like you need the SCSI ROM to make it work. I faced a similar issue with the A2091 emulation, I needed to use the ROM file from the card to make the SCSI work.

I don't have any idea on how FS-UAE interfaces with the host network. WinUAE uses SLIRP or WinPCap, so FS-UAE must have gone a different way. I remember as well that in WinUAE I was not successful emulating PCMCIA ethernet, but A2065 worked well.
