Aluvus Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 That isn't a Firewire (IEEE 1394) connection. It's a parallel (IEEE 1284) connection. Not gonna help you.What is an "external firewire"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not gonna help you.What is an "external firewire"?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ditto, thats a parralel port. Do you mean a card that plugs directly into the mobo (refering to your "externa;" card) by wires similar to a USB internal connection?I don't believe that mobo supports internal 1394 but you can get a decent firewire card, pci version, for next to nothing (usually less then $25) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
