5 out of 5 stars Startech Card Bus IEEE-1394 Firewire Notebook Card   August 30, 2008
Product works well. It is convenient to use and makes transferring videos from my camcorder to DVD very easy.


1 out of 5 stars Not compatible apparently...   July 18, 2008
I have a Dell Precision M65 Notebook and this card simply isn't compatible. On other sites I have now found out that this product has had problems with other Dell models. If you are a Dell user, might want to think about a different card.


1 out of 5 stars Wrong size!!   June 13, 2008
Who knew. they make an express PCIMA card so this didint work for me and I sure would like to return it!


2 out of 5 stars Doesn't cooperate fully w/Vista   June 10, 2008
Despite the "Windows Vista" compatibility logos on the Startech website & other reviews here, this card would not install properly on my Fujitsu laptop running Vista Business.

Oddly, I could still plug in and read/write to my external HDD, but other functionality was busted & it kept trying to find the card drivers. There are none available from the Startech website. Their tech support was quick to respond, but unable to solve the problem. Apparently the drivers should be included in Windows XP and Vista, but weren't on my system.

There are cheaper alternatives w/both 1394a (Firewire 400) and the newer 1394b (Firewire 800) that hopefully will work out better. Returning this for another option.



4 out of 5 stars Great price, performs as it should   May 27, 2008
What can I say? This is a straight-forward product. It works as it should with my Vista Ultimate-powered laptop. Wish you the best of luck!
