Try out this TI card at NewEgg. Works well on XP and Win7. Low cost & low
profile design.

Firewire 800 only has native operating support with Win7, which by the way
is the primary reason that there are problems with Win7 and Firewire with a
lot of products in addition to the FLEX-x000 SDRs.

To get that adapter to work on a different operating systems, you will have
to use a vendor supported version of ohci1394.sys.  I personally have not
had any luck with 1394a/b combo adapters using that TI chipset in operating
systems other than Win7 to recognize the radio, so your mileage will vary.

If you can find a 1394a only card (S400), you will have a better chance of
it working since Win7 only has limited support with PowerSDR 1.18.3.  Full
Win7 support will come with PowerSDR v2.0.0

Hi all just got an email back from some one that can read, LOL.
The firewire card I have found has the chip markings of TI TSB82AA2

its a texas instrument chip it has firewire 800 (two external plugs) and 400
as a single external and one internal.

Has anybody used this chip based firewire card.
I need to order it quickly as time for the radio is very close, I can not
wait to fire up the radio.

cheer
Paul
