Hi Mike No, if you are on Vista or XP you do not need the Legacy driver. If you are using XP however you do need the infamous XP firewire patch for speed control.
If you go to Start->Control Panel->Device Manager and expand the 1394 device, it will say 1394 OHCI Legacy Controller or some such working. If it doesn't say legacy, its not legacy. But again, this only is needed on Windows 7 machines. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 NEW PHONE NUMBER Amateur Radio: K3NC Blog: http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/blog/ DXBase bug reports: email to [email protected] Abroham Neal forums: http:/www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/community/ On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Mike Schwendeman <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a BASIC question: How does one IDENTIFY a LEGACY vs. another > Firewire driver? > I assume this applies to both Windows XP as well as Windows 7? > Thank you; -Mike- KØJTA > >> >> Message: 10 >> Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:06:44 -0800 (PST) >> From: dan edwards <[email protected]> >> To: flex edge <[email protected]> >> >> Subject: [FlexEdge] BETA 19 firewire driver in win7 ? >> >> are we still supposed to use the 'legacy' firewire drivers in windows 7 ? >> >> 19 works well for me, except it freezes up if i walk away for a few >> hours...requires pc reboot, as pc seems locked up.. >> >> might be my mobo / ram timing, though.... >> >> 73, w5xz, dan >> >> > _______________________________________________ > Flexedge mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz > This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
