Although I never got my hands on one, I seem to recall that the FirePort 40 used the same chipset as the Adaptec 2940, but with a different external connector. So if you can find a way to lie to XP and tell it that's what you've got, it may work. (The 2940 was *the* SCSI adapter just a few years back, and so I'd be shocked if XP didn't inherit NT's built-in support for it.)
