    Hi there.
    I'll tell you something right off the bat : Windows do work with Firewire but! It's a hit or miss. I've seen a case where Windows 7 will not recognize a HDV cassette in a firewire device... it would only recognize it as a DV cassette. I suggest you to purchase a capture card for Windows if possible with your device.

    Otherwise, if you plan doing a lot of that in the near future, I would go for... *gulp* a Mac. Firewire was born for that platform. Or so it seem. Never worked with a Mac and Firewire.

    Otherwise...

    ^ This is a nice product with nice reviews.

    If I'm wrong, somebody, correct me.

    The Rosewill has good reviews with Win 7 64bit except for one and he has barely used it he posted.

    I never had a problem with HP desktops with firewire and XP. I might have been lucky or it was the Intel/card reader combo that made them work good. It had the high speed USB-2.0 Intel chip. A rarity.

    That Rosewill looks like a good choice.

    Guys thanks for answering my post. Unfortunately, the firewire ports on the Cisco RNG 200 are disabled. I have a tv tuner card.
