ALLEGRO FIREWIRE PCI EXPRESS
This review is from : 2PORT Firewire 400 Pcix Card
works just fine in a 2009 (nehalem) Mac Pro . The new 2009 Mac Pros have no firewire 400 ports, and a number of the add-in cards in the market work poorly in a Mac. This card, however, seems to work just fine. It installs in about a second and needs no drivers. Both ports become immediately available.
I've been testing mine with an iSight camera and a Lexar compactflash card reader. Given an ultra II compact flash card rated to "minimum 9MB/second," I was able to copy a 1.90GB file at a pace of 9.2 MB/second. This is only about 20% the theoretical speed of a firewire 400 port, but I don't have any higher speed firewire device handy on which to apply tougher testing.
Note that the card does not support Target Disk Mode on the Mac.

2PORT Firewire 400 Pcix Card Reviews
Does what it should and does it well . Bought this card to augment the number of Firewire ports in my new MacPro (only design flaw I find in that computer...not enough Firewire inputs for professional use). It replaced the first Sonnet card I bought as that one (a combo USB/Firewire card) didn't play well with my computer for what I needed (word to wise - before buying a PCI card make sure that your peripherals will work with it. Firebox, for instance, needs a specific chipset and Firewire only cards to work...something buried on their website).
Card installed easily and has worked beautifully with no problems.
Big rave to Sonnet's customer service, btw, for helping me troubleshoot and giving me all the information I needed. About the best I've encountered.

Well crafted product. . As with all Sonnet products I've used, this one works without a flaw.
Just installed it and started using it.
Sonnet really knows how to make products for the Mac.
