Somewhat disappointed.......2007-12-13
While the installation of the card and software was easy enough, I was never able to get it to properly recognize my Lacie 1Tb external Firewire 800 drive. The problem could lie with the drive -- the Lacie tech said they work with some PCI cards but not all. The real disappointment was that in the process of hooking things up, one of the three ports came loose and disappeared back into the chassis -- a sign of sub-standard workmanship. Probably a good card for the money, and still functional (well, 2/3rds functional)with other firewire/i-link components, but I'm going to have to pay a bit more for a card that will work with my drive (which works fine, albeit much more slowly, on my USB 2 port).
Excellent Interface board.......2007-09-26
Absolutely plug and play on a Mac, no problems. Great expansion of FW800 ports, if you use them.
Belkin Firewire 800 Cards.......2007-08-29
The Belkin Firewire 800 card is an outstanding product however in the specifications and product description it does not explain that the card is not downward compatible to 400 speed without additional cables or firewire 800 drives which are expensive with limited availability. The product as shipped is not a simple plug and play with most firewire 400 configurations. To use the card you must acquire either a conversion cable or a firewire 800 drive.

Drivers and the Startech 3 port 1383b.......2007-08-11
I am using the card in one of my Windows 2003 servers and found the drivers difficult to install and somewhat out of date so I did some research and found newer drivers for the original manufacture that work fine but are not listed as supporting 2003 server.
Do your research first. You may need to spend more money and get an adapter with better driver support.
I'd Return it if I Could.......2007-02-26
I purchased this to drive an M-Audio Firewire system. It worked for about a week, then went flakey. On reboots, it would look fine, but nothing plugged into it could be seen by their respective drivers. I must have rebooted the PC 20 times trying to figure out where the problem was. I reinstalled the driver at least 3 times, along with the drivers for the M-Audio device. The error I get on the M-Audio driver is #10, driver not started. Same happens when I attach a Sony Video camera--it can't be seen by the software. Clearly, something in the middle is broken.
M-Audio strongly advises users not to Hot Plug their products on Firewire, as it can kill one or both of the devices, even though the standard is explicitly designed for such hot plugging. Apparently, that is what happend. In all the experimenting, powering up the M-Audio after the boot was completed would at least trigger something, at least at first. I'd return it if I still had the box....

works as advertised.......2006-11-05
Quick and simple installation, hooked up to maxtor OneTouch II without any problems. I had the maxtor installed using USB2 before I went to firewire. As far as I can tell (no quantitative studies done) the firewire setup is as fast (maybe faster) than the USB2 setup (and more importantly, I know have one more free USB2 port for other uses).
Awesome PCI card for MAC.......2006-07-25
I got this for my G5 2.0 Ghz Powermac and it works great. Just pluged it in and no drivers to install and it worked perfect. I bet if i put this in a windows machine it would have taken me over 40 hours to install the correct driver, until MS comes out with a new secruity package. So then after that happens I would spend 40 more hours installing updated drivers. Yes that was a rant about windows. Great device, came with cool cable as well that I didn't know about. 400plug to 800plug.
The Awesome Man
This card works as advertised, in Macs and PC's.......2006-04-18
I bought this card to test as part of a review of FW800 External drives. In three different Windows XP and 2000 computers (one home built ASUS/AMD 64-bit 3200, one HP and one Gateway) this card worked flawlessly.
It was also tried in one G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25GHz and one G5 Dual 2.3 Power Mac. No problems at all with the G5 but the G4 would not "sleep", BUT IOGear is right, once again Apple's flawed designs in the G4's see MANY "add-on" PCI cards as being "active" when in fact they are doing nothing.
If you had to put up with all the flaws in Macs over the years, prohibiting what you could add to a Mac and have it work perfectly ... you'd never be able to add any aftermarket devices from any reputable manufacturer.
The price of this card is very fair and the quality is very good. IOGear Customer/Tech Support is sketchy at times though.
Mac compatibility problem.......2004-09-17
After I installed this card in a Mac G4 running OSX 10.3.5 the computer would no longer sleep. If put to sleep, the machine immediately woke up again. After the card was removed, the computer again operated normally.
In response to an email query, IOGear sent me the following reply: "Thank you for contacting us. Your problem is an Apple related issue in which some Macs will read the card as an active source of information, even if the card is not in use and can prevent the computer from going to sleep. Sometimes installing the card in another PCI slot solves the problem, otherwise, I would recommend you return the card to your place of purchase. I apologize for any inconvenience."
I followed IOGear's advice, and tried the card in each of the computer's four PCI slots. The problem wasn't solved, and I subsequently returned the card to Amazon for a refund.
