Review on πŸ”Œ Syba PCIe 1.1 x1 Card - 3 Port IEEE 1394 Firewire 1394B & 1394A, TI XIO2213B Chipset, Requires Legacy Driver for Windows 8 10 by Kyam Deriphonse

Works with an older graphics scanner

First a little about my systems - ASRock X399 motherboard - AMD Ryzen 2950 processor - Windows 10 Pro I have an old Epson Expressions 1680 -Graphics scanner with USB and FireWire connections. I was never able to get FireWire to work reliably on my last system, so I went with a slower USB but wanted to give FireWire another try. After I installed this card and ran everything, nothing, no errors, no driver issues, it just worked and interacted with the 1680 and I was using 6 year old firewire cables. I think any compatibility issue is likely either the Windows version or a specific motherboard. I've used MSI before and this thing has always worked on PCI cards. So it works, it doesn't get any better than that.

Pros
  • Supports hot swapping and plug-n-play peripherals
Cons
  • Appearance
