get adaptec's duo connect instead [Posted on 2003-09-09] Adaptec has a Duo Connect PCMCIA card that has both a firewire and a USB 2.0 port. This is perfect for video editing on a PC laptop: connect a camera to the firewire port and an external hard drive to the USB 2.0 port. When not video editing, you can use the extra USB port for your printer, mouse, etc., or keep the hard drive attached to run games.
Plug and chug with a Sony DCRTV310 camera [Posted on 2003-10-03] Installation was a snap. I was downloading movies from my Sony Digital Camera and burning movies on a CDR in 10 minutes.
Great. [Posted on 2003-10-07] This is one amazing product, I got this for my laptop Inspiron 8100. Though, I already had a 4 pin firewire port but the problem as you may or may not know is, 4-pin firewire can not supply power to the connected device. Most of the firewire devices i have are dependent on bus-power e.g. Compact Flash reader, so I chose adaptec card bus as it have an optional power input line so the connected devices can draw power. Overall, its very handy and useful plus the installation was smooth (you just plug & play, XP will instantly detect it). p.s. just a little thought, firewire have nothing to do with "video editing" nor it will improve with using different software. FIREWIRE is a communication standard i.e. IEEE 1394/1394b , the later is also known as FireWire800 and gives twice as fast speed as normal firewire.
Works for Yamaha mlan [Posted on 2005-07-17] I purchased this for use with professional audio recording software based on Yamaha's mlan protocol. My Vaio laptop had a 4 pin firewire put the chipset didn't have enough horsepower to run the protocol. Loaded without drivers and I was off to the races. It also allows me to keep my external firewire hard drive connected. Thumbs up!
Excellent!!! [Posted on 2007-10-15] This card was only $13 and worked perfect for capturing video from my DV camera.
