CB2U2F [Posted on 2005-09-11]
The firewire portion of the card works well. However, I have not successfully able to get the USB2.0 to work with my computer. I have called the company for tech support and they are very responsive.
Firewire: yes; USB: No [Posted on 2005-09-15]
The IEEE 1394 (firewire) connectivity through this card with my ThinkPad was flawless, but I was unable to get the USB drivers to work. I have had the same problem with an Adaptek dual function card on multiple ThinkPads (T40 and T42), so perhaps the USB problem is peculiar to IBM (now Lenovo) notebooks. It was nice to get a firewire cable included for this price.
DO NOT BUY IT [Posted on 2005-09-17]
Package arrived without user's manual. Had to download the manual from StarTech web site. Followed the instruction to install the drivers but my Laptop complained the device failed to start. Contacted StarTech tech support and instructed to install the manufacture provided drivers which crashed my laptop. Returned the card 2 weeks later. DO NOT BUY IT, Period.
Need power supply for USB 2.0 [Posted on 2005-09-19]
The firewire performed fine, but you need the power supply for the USB 2.0 to work. For this reason I returned it and went with the D-link USB 2.0 card. It doesn't need a power supply and it installed flawlessly on my notebook running XP.
I couldn't get it to work. [Posted on 2005-09-19]
I have an IBM laptop running Windows XP. I was unable to get this card to work. I went to Office Depot and bought the Belkin card and it worked immediately. I cannot reccomend the Startech card.
