FireWire, also known as IEEE
1394, is an industry standard for high-speed peripheral communication.
Developed by Apple, FireWire is lauded for its easy of use, high data
throughput and chainability: up to 63 FireWire devices can be connected
together.
With FireWire, high-speed peripherals can be connected
externally, eliminating the need to install complicated internal
hardware. Jumpers, switches and IRQ assignments are things of the past,
as installation is now as simple as connecting the device to your
computer. FireWire allows digital camcorders, external hard drives and high-speed
scanners to truly perform at their best. Our FireWire interface provides the necessary
link between your FireWire device and your PC. All you need is a PC
with an open PCI slot, Windows 98/2000 and the desire to bring high-speed
peripheral connectivity to your desktop.
The PCI-FireWire Adapter card will work with MacOS 9.0+, all drivers
are supplied by Apple.
