Stable 1394A connectivity with easy installation
This PCIe FireWire 400 card (TSB43AB23 chipset) works reliably and is fully recognized on both Windows and macOS systems. The four 1394A ports provide stable connectivity for legacy devices such as DV cameras and older audio interfaces. Installation is straightforward, and the card performs consistently without driver issues. A solid option if you need dependable FireWire support on a modern PC.

Works on linux. Provided cable is short.
Works great on my linux system: i'm running Debian 13, but I think this chipset has been supported for a long time. Be warned, however that the cable that comes with the card is only about 2 feet long. It's fine to connect my HandyCam to the card for the few times I'll use it, but if I needed it long term, I'd want a longer cable.

It worked out of the box in Windows 11
Windows 11 recognized the card as a Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller on startup. It worked out of the box AND came with the 4pin to 6pin cable which gets it a solid 5 stars

Capture Card Works, Included FireWire Doesn't
The capture card itself worked perfectly fine and appeared on the device manager. However, the FireWire cable it arrived with did not work. I even tried installing a legacy driver for it, but there was no saving it.

Took a couple of extra steps, but works great
I bought this card to use with my old Sony camcorder and it works great, but it took a few extra steps. At first, I didn't see the card in Scenalyzer after installation, so I had to go to the website and download the legacy driver. It still didn't show, so I had to go to device manager and change the card properties from Texas Instruments to 1394 FireWire card and then it finally showed up It still took a bit of a cable wiggle to show up, but it mostly worked great, so I'm guessing it's a port thing or cable thing. Overall, after the troubleshooting finally got it working the way I wanted to to. I got this one because I heard a TI chipset is what I want.

No Problems
Works great. Put in my Ubuntu PC and it works natively without installing any driver. It's on the expensive side but TX chip is more reliable. I was able to connect to my old DV camcorder & get all my tapes digitized.

It works!
It looked too simple to work, but it did install and work fine on my newer PCIe motherboard.

Works, but Beware
I put the card in my computer and it would not boot with it in, kept saying I had a VGA error. Didn’t work in any PCIE slot, and it ended up breaking my computer to the point I had to reset it. Gave it two stars because it worked in a different computer. Beware of this product.

Working on Win11 with old Audio Interface
Plug and play on Windows 11 to get my old M-Audio ProFire 2626 interface working. Did not work in the PCI-e x1 slot on my Asus x470 motherboard but it did work in the secondary PCI-e x16 slot. That might be my PCI-e BIOS settings but to be considered if you only have an x1 slot.

Carte firewire compatible Windows 11
Ayant changé d'ordinateur récemment, ma nouvelle machine n'avait pas de port firewire...semble t'il que c'est désuet. Avec l'installation de la carte firewire, je peux à nouveau transférer mes vidéos enregistrées sur mon caméscope mini dv. Détection automatique dans Windows 11 sans installation de pilotes supplémentaires.
