PCI Express to FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b/a) Host Adapter 3+1 Ports

PCI Express to FireWire 800 More Like This Harnessing the powerful PCI Express capabilities on modern motherboards, the x1 PCI Express to FireWire 800 Host Adapter provides full 800Mbps throughput for high performance FireWire 800 peripherals. The adapter provides two external and one internal FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394B) ports, and one external FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394A) port. The PCIe card interfaces FireWire peripherals including Digital Video Camcorders, digital still image cameras, set top boxes, hard drives, DVD/CDRWs and other mass storage devices. Use with multiple peripherals or with a hub for daisy chaining and/or hierarchical (tree) bus configurations. Includes a built-in 4-pin mini power supply connector on the PCB for optional power to supply additional power to power hungry bus-powered devices.
