Jeff,
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I do not have any spare normal internal power connectors in this
computer.
Does the Bytecc model NEED the power connection, or can it operate from
the PCIe provided power?
I am thinking of buying the SYBA SD-PEX-FWB
According to SYBA's website it uses a TI chipset and supports Windows 7.

I just went down this road last weekend after building a new
machine for the
shack. After several failed attempts using various PCI 1394a cards
I had
laying around (NEC, VIA, JMicron chipsets), ultimately I went out
and bought
a card that with a TI chipset. The one I found is a Bytecc 1394a
PCIe card,
model # BT-PE1394 ($40). Out of about 30 cards that I checked,
this Bytecc
and one of the SIIG's were the only two cards with the TI chipset at
MicroCenter (the SIIG was PCI). So far so good at 192 kHz; the
other non-TI
cards would stumble and fall at higher sample rates.
For PCI, the Lacie 400 seems to be the best bang for the buck. For
PCIe, I
didn't find any real bargains - expect to spend $30-70 on a good
card with
the TI chipset. If there are cheaper PCIe cards with viable chip
sets out
there, I didn't find them during the course of Googling for the
better part
of an hour before running out to MicroCenter and finding this Bytecc.
In case you haven't already seen it..
