5 out of 5 stars Works great on a PowerMac G5.......2007-03-25

This card works as advertised on my Apple PowerMac G5 dual 2GHz (1st gen). I have quite an extensive collection of Firewire 800 devices for storage and this card fits the bill, giving me FireWire 800 speeds for my drives without daisy-chaning those devices. I do quite a bit of photo editing, and with the speed, I can edit and import photos at great speed.

1 out of 5 stars Conlficted with my Linksys Wireless Adaptor.......2004-12-17

I specifically was looking for Firewire 800 (1394b) card and thought I found one. While it seemed to work initially, my wireless connection kept crashing on me (things are normal now that I removed the card). Also the spec sheet on any seller website does not tell you that 800mps is not available until Windows XP developes a driver/patch for the hardware. I am going to try the Lacie card and hope that works better. Otherwise I'll end up sticking with my 400mps speed for the time being.
