No problem.

It is easily possible to get all the information you require. (If you
have
RiscOS 3.5+).
I have written a neat little program which whips out the information for
any expansion card, including all the technical info. It uses one of the
newer Podule SWIs to get all the required information.

I can email you it tomorrow. (As I am at college)

Thanks,
