Question: can you plug in a non-FW800 device into a FW800 card? Or do you need a card that explicitly supports 400 and 800?<br><br>thx<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Bill Fox <billyfox@soundscapes.us><br>To: Music-bar <music-bar@lists.music-bar.org><br>Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 3:18:24 PM<br>Subject: Re: Firewire PCI Cards<br><br>

Last week, in fact, I bought an <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16800998060">SIIG
card</a> that gives me three ports of firewire 800. My LaCie drives
support fw800 (formerly only available on MACs), fw400 (commonly
available), and USB. It seems to work fine. Unfortunately, my RAID
went bad and I haven't had any chance to really kick the tires on the
new card.<br>
