Excellent Card - Real PnP - Real TI Chipset
I looked at other PCIe FW cards claiming to be Texas Instruments chipsets. One was three times the price of this one! I wanted to have a firewire port on my new-build PC DAW for my audio interface (MOTU 828 mk3 Hybrid). I find firewire generally more reliable than USB2 in terms of audio latency. Installation in my Win 10 (I don't like Win 11) PC was very straight-forward and no drivers are needed since Windows recognises the chipset straight away and the card appears in Device Manager with no problems. I plugged up the MOTU interface and it works flawlessly. I'm now able to decrease the buffer size in my audio software and latency isn't an issue. Fantastic value card. It comes with a small (english) manual describing physical installation and verification of windows PnP. It also comes with a 1M firewire to mini-firewire (DV) cable. The cable is a 4-pin to 6-pin - IEEE1394 - iLink - old Camcorder style - DV to FW 400 - Male to Male. I didn't need the cable since I used my existing FW 800 to 800 cable for my audio interface. Easy installation in windows - true plug and play! It works with any version of Windows from 2000 onwards. You'll need a PCI Express enabled system with one available PCI Express slot. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a true TI chipset FW port. Hope I've helped with my review.

Cheaper than the Startech option, does the same job
This is a legit TI chipset card that will work with your old firewire interface. It's a perfect compliment to my Mackie 1640i - works like a charm, even on Windows 11. Great product, half the price of the only similar offering from Startech. If you'e got an old firewire audio interface you want to keep using on your modern rig, this is the one you want.

IT WORKS !
IT'S GREAT, IT WORKS. EASY TO INSTALL. ALWAYS A RISK WHEN YOU GO RETRO, WORKS WELL WITH WINDOWS 11 THE SUPPLIED FIREWIRE CABLE WAS OF NO USE ( HENCE 4*'S) I DID HAVE A BACKUP WHICH WAS FINE. FOR ALL OUT THERE, WHO ARE BACKING UP DV FILES BUY IT.
