Description
Add 2 external and 1 internal FireWire400 port to any computer with a low profile PCI slot. This 3 Port PCI Low-Profile/Half-Height 1394a FireWire Adapter Card turns a motherboard PCI slot into two external IEEE 1394a FireWire slots (1x6-pin, 1x4-pin), and provides an internal (6-pin) FireWire port that can be used in place of the external 6-pin connector - a cost-effective solution that lets you connect any FireWire 400 device to your desktop computer.
Compatible with either Mac or PC computers, the 1394a FireWire card can be installed in small/micro form factor computer cases, and includes both standard and low profile/half-height brackets for easy installation.
A practical solution for connecting iPods, MP3 players, portable drives, digital camcorders and more to your desktop computer, the FireWire 400 adapter card supports hot-swappable connectivity, allowing you to plug, unplug, and swap your FireWire peripherals with ease.
A versatile FireWire video editing solution, the adapter card can be installed in a PCI 5V or PCI-x 3.3V slot.

Great Firewire card for slimline desktops
Reviewed by Grumpy. Review Posted 16/07/2007
Having spoken to 8 Dell 'customer service' people who didn't know what a Dell Dimension 3100c was I contcted dabs who suggested a low profile firewire card might fit as i had already tried a full size one that didn't. Fitted perfectly and is now up and running. Great product and as usual great service.

Vista 64 plug & play
Reviewed by Sam. Review Posted 02/12/2008
I did have some concerns regarding this card and Vista64, however upon receipt I installed the card and it was immediately recognised by the OS and installed without any hassle whatsoever. I was up and running within 2 minutes, direct integration into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (I have not yet tried the included software) allowing me DV camera access and control. The low profile nature meant that I did not in any way obstruct the fan of my neighbouring graphics card, as all my other PCI slots were in use.
If a product does exactly what I want and causes me no hassle - then I can't rate it lower than 5/5!
Definitely recommended.
