Roger, The KB article you referenced is still applicable. I have used both the ADS and the SIIG with a FLEX-5000 beta unit without any problems. These cards use the TI chipset.
The manufactured of the FireWire interface in the FLEX-5000 recommends the Lucent AGERE FW323 chipset. One example of a Firewire host controller with that chipset is Syba (PCI bus) p/n: SD-LUC-4F http://www.syba.com/product/43/01/11/2/index.html The KB article will be updated with this and additional information later this week. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Rehr Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 10:38 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Which Firewire card for Flex5000 Hi, I am anxiously awaiting my Flex-5000 and want to be ready with Firewire card installed in my Linux / Windows XP Dual boot PC. The Flex-Radio website says 'coming soon' for Flex-supplied Firewire solutions, but I want to be ready when the Flex-5000 arrives and so ideally I would like to have either: 1. the option of buying the card from Flex and having it shipped with the Flex-5000 or 2. the Firewire card already installed in the computer when the Flex-5000 arrives. Is there any chance of option #1? If not, what is the current recommendation for a good FIrewire card? Does the February 2007 knowledgebase article http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10250 apply here? Of the listed choices, is one preferred over the others? Thanks in advance, and 73, W3SZ Roger Rehr http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz Roger Rehr W3SZ http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
