I need some more firewire ports!

hello!

I need some more firewire ports, so i thought of this one BELKIN IEEE 1394 PCI CARD 6PIN W/VIDEO STUDIO 5.0 IN (F5U502EA)

Will this be compatible with my current setup? I mainly use my computer for making music.

Hello!

I bought a chep Firewire/USB2.0 PCI card. But the drivers that came with it is only for Windows xp. i tried installing them but it didn't work. (I used compability mode aswell)

The card is called "CK-0021 A/B"

when i used sisoftware sandra to get some more info on what i have put inside my computer ifound this:

Computer
Mainboard : Gigabyte M57SLI-S4
BIOS : Award (Phoenix) FHL 11/06/2009

USB Controller 5 : VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller
FireWire/1394 Controller 1 : VIA VT6306 VIA Fire II IEEE-1394 OHCI Link Layer Controller

Any thoughts about this?

 

[marsmimar]

Did a quick search for drivers and everything I've found shows the last driver update was back in 2006. This may be one of those times when the device is simply too old for Windows 7. Hopefully someone else might be able to find a newer driver.

 

[oscardvine]

Damn. I hope there is some driver for it somewhere...

Hi!

No real matches, this is all i found on the web...

btw have you tried to run it in "xp compatibility mode", i had the case once & i worked for me...

Good luck!

 

[oscardvine]

Thank you, that seems to have worked!

but now my other firewire port (directly from the motherboard) seems to have stopped working... any thoughts on how to solve this?

 

[oscardvine]

please help!

What does it show in Device manager?
Have you tried installing the Motherboard drivers again?

 

[oscardvine]

It's doesn't seem to be any problem with it in the device manager. no warning signs or anything. I did try to reinstall the drivers, but it's still not working. (i need my firewire port for my external audiocard)

Not good
Maybe it is some sort of conflict what happens if you uninstall the card?

 

[oscardvine]

how do i uninstall it?

 

[pooch]

how do i uninstall it?

In device manager right click, properties, driver, uninstall driver

 

[oscardvine]

that solved the problem. removed the PCI card and everything is back to normal. guess i have to buy a new one. any recomendations? (i've heard that the best PCI cards for making music contains western digital circuits)
