This 3 Port PCI Express FireWire adapter card can be installed in a PCI Express slot to add two IEEE1394b (FireWire 800 - 9 pin) ports and one IEEE1394a (FireWire 400 - 6 pin) port, providing broad compatibility with a wide range of FireWire devices (e.g. DV camcorders, external hard drives, digital cameras, etc.).The 2b, 1a card features a native (single chip) PCI Express chipset - resulting in faster, more reliable and cost effective performance than expansion cards that utilize a "bridge" chip.

Works perfectly in an OSX86 (ie. Hackintosh) . I purchased this card to add Firewire 800 capabilities to my Hackintosh. I had tried other highly rated cards with a Texas Instrument chipset but they all led to system instability and freezes. This card from Startech uses a Agere chipset which is similar to the ones found in real Mac computers. It worked out of the box in OSX 10.6 without any additional drivers and works perfectly. I don't use Windows so i can't comment on it's performance or stability in Windows.

firewire card . well it works. weird fit but it works. my hd would crash if my content transfers were too high though. don't where the problems lie. weak fit design but considering how many cards out there with buggy problems, a least this one works.
