Correct ... any OHCI-compatible PCI card will provide basic Firewire, at your choice of 400 or 800, and sometimes with several connector types, even internal ones. Even the very inexpensive Hong Kong cards are good. > This will work for a Firewire port, but the original idea was to access > Target Disk Mode, which only works with the built-in Firewire. Correct ... the motherboard's BIOS provides specific support to the motherboard-resident Firewire chip. The two go together ... period. The BIOS is unaware of any add-in PCI- or PCI-e-based Firewire card. Although the motherboard-resident Firewire chip may, indeed, be a PCI-e-based solution. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
