Conceptronic Ieee 1394 Firewire Pc Card Drivers

FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394-1995) Cable length is limited to 4.5 metres (14.8 ft), although up to 16 cables can be daisy chained using active repeaters; external hubs or internal hubs are often present in FireWire equipment. The S400 standard limits any configuration's maximum cable length to 72 metres (236 ft).

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware () I just installed the Adaptec FireConnect 8300 PCI card. (This is Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Adaptor). Prikaz mz rb 622 ot 23052012 po tuberkulezu.

The card has both 1394 a (400 mbps) and 1394 b (800 mbps) ports. I am interested in the faster speed. Adaptec does not supply drivers with the card and the Microsoft driver 5.1.2600.1106 seems to support only the slower 400 speed even when I connect to a device with the 1394b port. I got most of this info from the device manager. Can I get a better driver? When is Microsoft going to come out with the 1394 b driver?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware () As far as I am aware, Microsoft do not yet have a release-version of the Firewire800 (also known as IEE1394b) driver. Wrinkles and 'gotchas': 1. Until recently, there was only one Firewire Specification -- which was known as IEEE 1394. Recently, a faster second-generation form of firewire was ratified. This new specification did not get a new number. The original Firewire Specification is now called Firewire 400 (as its original maximum data-transfer-rate was 400Mb/s).

The Technical Specification for Firewire 400 is now called IEEE 1394a. Any *old* information that reads 1394 is now assumed to be read as 1394a. The new Firewire Specification is now called Firewire 800 (as its new maximum data-transfer-rate is 800Mb/s). The Technical Specification for Firewire 800 is now called IEEE 1394b. From now on it is mandatory for a 1394-specification-document to state the 'a' or 'b' suffix to differentiate between the old and new chips and/or old and new drivers. Note: It is assumed that further Firewire developments will run in a similar vein.

(Eg: Firewire 1200 will probably be known as IEEE 1394c.) 4. Currently, the only release-version drivers that support IEEE 1394b of which I am aware are part of Apple OS 10.3 - also known as Panther. It is my understanding that Windows Firewire 800 support will be rolled out along with the WXP-SP2 release. For now, I recommend using the 1394b-rated chip at the 1394a datarate (the new chips are backwards-compatible with the old drivers at the old datarate). Once the final WXP-SP2 update is released, you will then be able to use your new card at its full datarate. Best I can do for now.
