Which Firewire card to use

Post by malexii »

I just bought a used firewire 828mkII. I need to install a firewire card in my Dell 2.8 GHz. I know its posted some where but I can't find it. Which cards are recommend?

Also is it ture that there are no PDF manuals out there. The one that I bought (and have not got yet) has no manual. I cant seem to order one from Motu until I supply them with a serial number.

Thanks, Max

Maxleii, I've got 2 UAD-1s, a Firewire Powercore running on a VIA6306 chipset, and 2xMOTU 828 mkIIs running on a TI chipset. Works fine for me although I had to go back to the SP1 versions of firewire drivers for XP when I added the second 828.

I also believe it's true, there are no PDF manuals - these will cost you 20 bucks.

Hope this helps...
