Re: Firewire 400 PCI cards - OK with a PowerMac?
Well, it turns out that the replacement internal FW module does work after all...unfortunately I only discovered this *after* I had ordered a TI-chipset FW 400 card and thought that wasn't working either. It turns out that my testing was at fault. (Note to self: test FW devices with something simple like an external drive enclosure, *not* a FW webcam or DV-bridge. Doh!) Oh well...I have a 6 FW port PowerMac now and the Dazzle DV-bridge still doesn't work. More investigation required. -- Neil -- -- 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.

Thanks Kelly/Peter/Luis... ...I wasn't aware that the NEC chipset was the preferred one.

I didn't say "unusual"...I said "more unusual" :p Which Firewire clearly is when it comes to PCI cards, compared with USB or network adaptors. ;-) -- Neil On 23/02/2018 22:14, W.Adrian D'Alessio wrote: Let's see, G list and someone thinks Firewire is unusual ? -- -- 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.

Re: Firewire 400 PCI cards - OK with a PowerMac?
Hello everyone, I use a USB and Firewire card combo from IOGEAR, that I absolutely love, in all my PowerMacs. I did find that deep sleep issues would arise from time to time if the driver was not installed. These cards are inexpensive on eBay. The card in question is: https://www.iogear.com/product/GUF320 Best results with various other cards were found with NEC chips as well.
