PCIe Firewire 400 Card,IEEE 1394a PCI Express 4 Ports PCIe Card (3 X 6 Pin and 1 X 4 Pin),Firewire 400 Adapter for Windows 7/8/10/11/Mac Os/Xp/2000/2003/ Vista/Dos,Linux(PCIE-IEEE 1394A)

Easy to install and works as it should.

It does exactly what it claims. Worked like a charm with no issues. Didn’t need any driver downloads. Came with a half-height bracket and a nice cable as well.

The card works great in Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux. No extra driver installs needed and it immediately recognized an older miniDV video camera. However, the cable it came with didn't work right, and the camera would get stuck in a connect-disconnect cycle. Not sure if its a quality issue or a broken cable. Using an old firewire 800 cable worked great.

Works straight out of the box with up-to-date Linux, no extra configuration required. I plugged the digital video player into this card with a firewire cable, and used dvgrab to import old digital video tapes. It even works in an external thunderbolt PCIe enclosure.

Works no problem with GR-DVL9500 and WinDV on Windows 11. No manual driver installation required.

Works great with modern PC with pcie bus and win 10. Using windv app from 20 years ago. Finally going to digitize all 40 dv tapes and run them thru ffmpeg to make mp4 clips

My card came with only the 3 external ports. Internal 6-pin port was not installed.The included 4 to 6 pin cable is 3 ft 10 in long.I used this card with some non-DV firewire cameras like Apple iSight. I like it because it has a legacy chipset. As long as the OS has PCIe support for the bridge, it should have drivers available for this card.It worked with my 2012 Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.15.7 (Catalina) via a thunderbolt 2 enclosure.I attached the same thunderbolt enclosure to my Linux laptop. I had some issue. I could get my firewire cameras to recognize, but both had corruption in the image, an unusual line pattern on the right third.I put it in a regular Linux desktop. Here I was able to get the video without corruption so it may have just been a one-off, or some peculiarity of the firewire->PCIe->thunderbolt chain.Device appears in Linux as:PCI bridge: ASMedia Technology Inc.

I got this to add to my video editing / server to capture some footage from my old Sony digital camcorder that used Firewire to export. I'm currently running Ubuntu Linux 23.10 as my OS, and using HWINFO it shows up exactly as I would expect it to, as a VIA 6306/7/8 Firewire controller. Machine specs are i7 13700K, 790 chipset, 64 gb ram, onboard video, and it works great for me.I did have one slight problem when installing, I couldn't get the I/O slot retention tab to slide down into the little slot. No matter how hard I tried, it just wouldn't go in. Now, I've been working on computers since the 8088 CPU was a new thing. So, yeah. Probably the only guy you might read a computer review from that actually once owned AND USED an RAM pin straightener. What I'm trying to say is, if I can't get it to slot in, then something is wrong with the item and NOT ME, lol.I happened to be right. After struggling with it for a few minutes, I took it out, took my glasses off, and took a GOOD look at it. By golly, if my eyes weren't deceiving me, the I/O slot retention tab on the card looked like it was bent back ever so slightly. Almost not enough to see, but just ever so much. So I grabbed my needle nose pliers, and ever so gently bent the I/O slot retention tab back to where I thought it should be, and crossed my fingers. POP. It went right in. I knew it wasn't me, lol.So, if you get this, and it doesn't want to go in, take a good look at that tab and make sure it isn't tweaked too far inward. Mine was, and once corrected (I think I bent it 1mm or LESS) it slotted right in. The only reason for the -1 star was that "factory tweak" that had to be corrected. Other than that, it's working perfectly for me in a Linux environment. It even sees my Sony. If you need to add ancient Firewire capabilities to a newer pc, this little baby does the job just fine. Next thing I'm going to have to see if Amazon sells a 5.25" / 8" combo floppy drive. *chirping crickets*. No, huh? Oh well.Anyway, it worked great. Aside from a slightly tweaked I/O bracket that was easily corrected, it's a great card. Well made, and functions perfectly. Though I didn't test it in Windows, if it works in Linux, there really is no reason it wouldn't work in Windows as well. Definitely a recommended card, just keep an eye on the bracket and watch if it gives you resistance.
