Introduction

FW-PCIE1X30 is a High Performance 2-port FireWire (IEEE-1394a) to PCI Express Host Adapter.

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-PCIE1X30 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-PCIE1X30 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.
