  Okay from 13.04i386 lspci -vv:
03:05.0 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. Device 2f10
(rev 01)
	Subsystem: U.S. Robotics Device 2013
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
	Memory at febf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
	I/O ports at e800 [size=8]
	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

03:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Device 0000:8210 (rev 01)
	!!! Unknown header type 7f

Which is the same as the install gives.  From 13.04AMDx64:

Unfortunately my OS12.1 and VL7 installs won't boot (been messing with
the disks and not sorted it all out yet), or I could compare their info
as well.
