Firewire card

Post #301,764 by crazy 1/1/09 8:32:17 AM Reply	Firewire card So I want to be able to ready from my cameras, but have no firewire card. This looks promising: http://www.circuitci.../productDetail.do I REALLY like this comment: ------------------------------------------------------------- A good product Review posted on Oct 24, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful The installation of the card is absolutely effortless-- like plugging a power cord to a wall socket. The instructions provide no guidance with regard to the actual insertion of the card inside the CPU. This may be due to the fact that it is intuitive onceinside the CPU. It may also be due to the fact that opening the CPU varies by manufacturer. (I have a Dell Dimension 5510). I did review my owners manual to learn how to remove the 'dummy plate' on the backside of the CPU. My experience with the driverswas a bit humorous. Somehow I managed to get it done properly without knowing it was complete. I spent some unnecessary time trying to complete the process when it was complete w/o my knowledge. The cost seems in-line with other options or less. -------------------------------------------------------------

Post #301,878 by crazy 1/3/09 8:06:39 AM Reply	ok, installed And of course I realised I only needed a USB connection for that particular camera. But the firewire will come in handy for others. Hook camera to EEP PC, use mplayer on the silly .mod extension files, plays. Yay.
