PCI-E Firewire cards
Hi,
I need to add a PCI-Express Firewire card to my G31 Motherboard. I currently have an Asus 9400GT graphics card which spans over my PCI slots only leaving me with one spare one. I use the one spare PCI slot for an Ethernet card.
I have a couple of Firewire devices, i.e. a Video camera and a Eldirol sound system and would like to keep them hence the need for a PCI-E card.
Searching around shows some cards that *may* work, but it's not clear if they work with Snow Leopard on this particular motherboard. I'll take a punt on a £20 card but not on a £35 pound card (x 1.5 for dollars).
Cards that have some success include the
Belkin F5505 http://uk.shopping.com/xPO-Belkin-BE...PRESS-CARD-NIC
and the Sonnet

and the Dynex DX-PCI2PF
None are that cheap and I will not get my money back if they don't work.
So can anybody confirm that any of these cards will work in a PCI-E slot?
Thanks,
Rob
