Introduction

FW-EC3430 is a High Performance 2-port FireWire (IEEE-1394a) to ExpressCard Host Adapter.

FW-EC3430 is designed for the Notebook PC that can add it in an ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 slot to provide variety 1394a functions.

It is compliant with 1394 OHCI Rev. 1.1 with DMA engine support for high performance data transfer via a 32-bit bus master PCI host bus interface.

FW-EC3430 is ready to provide industry-standard IEEE 1394 peripheral connections and it can support 100,200 and 400 Mbit per sec transmission via an integrated PHY.

The 1394a function of FW-EC3430 is supported by the Microsoft host driver, which is built in Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 server, and Windows Vista.
