Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Specs
Camera: JVC GR-DA30U
PC: HP Compaq dc7100 USDT
BIOS: 786C1 v01.59
MOBO: 0980h
FireWire add-in card: Agere Systems FW322/323 (rev 61)

I'll try moving the card, there's another slot available.

New Capture software?
Nero, Adobe, Roxio?
I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
New Kino, Cinellera, dvgrab
None of them even find a device.

New Looks like the FW card can work with 5V and 3.3V
At least the chip supports it. http://www.lsi.com/n...ducts/fw_322_323/

The HP page doesn't give much info on the PCI slots - http://h18000.www1.h...%20Specifications

The peripherals are PCI 2.2 and PCI 2.3 compliant. PCI 2.2 requires 3.3V rails. http://en.wikipedia..../Conventional_PCI Presumably there are no 5V rails in the PCI connectors, but the card should work (unless something else on it requires 5V and that seems unlikely).

Unfortunately, since it's an HP/Compaq, it can be hard to find troubleshooting information.

I haven't been able to find much of anything else useful, except for scattered reports of others having trouble with the same card.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Maybe I shouldn't have gone so cheap on the card
I thought Firewire was a pretty well debugged technology, so we were at the point of commodity hardware. Maybe not.
