Summary: get adaptec's duo connect instead
Review: Adaptec has a Duo Connect PCMCIA card that has both a firewire and a USB 2.0 port. This is perfect for video editing on a PC laptop: connect a camera to the firewire port and an external hard drive to the USB 2.0 port. When not video editing, you can use the extra USB port for your printer, mouse, etc., or keep the hard drive attached to run games.

Summary: Thank God someone made DV editing easy
Review: I bought this card after searching for a solution to transfer DV from my Sony DV cam to my PC. I have tried several things but this one is the best. Easy installation and plug and play is awesome. I wouldn't use anything else.

Summary: Great.
Review: This is one amazing product, I got this for my laptop Inspiron 8100. Though, I already had a 4 pin firewire port but the problem as you may or may not know is, 4-pin firewire can not supply power to the connected device. Most of the firewire devices i have are dependent on bus-power e.g. Compact Flash reader, so I chose adaptec card bus as it have an optional power input line so the connected devices can draw power.
Overall, its very handy and useful plus the installation was smooth (you just plug & play, XP will instantly detect it).p.s. just a little thought, firewire have nothing to do with "video editing" nor it will improve with using different software. FIREWIRE is a communication standard i.e. IEEE 1394/1394b , the later is also known as FireWire800 and gives twice as fast speed as normal firewire.

Summary: Great firewire pccard
Review: This pccard is a very nice card that worked without a glitch in windows xp, it didn't even need the drivers. The card is fast, comes with great software and a cable that works great with my sony dv (i link) camera. The only thing that wasn't included in the box was the power adapter needed if you have bus powered devices conected this card.
