Question: does this card accept 9 pin or 6 pin firewire?
Document: After procrastinating for the past few years, I decided I wanted to transfer my DV tapes from my camcorder to a more reliable media (DVDs) and set out to find out how. With the power of Windows 7, an internet search, and the use of the original manual for my Sharp Viewcam Z (circa +/- 2001) I discovered the need for a IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin FireWire Cable and a Firewire card for my Toshiba laptop.
I was very disappointed that this card does not supply power to Firewire devices, even though it takes the 6-prong, powered cables (4-prong, no power). I thought perhaps I did not read the description carefully enough but when I read it again there is nothing on the Amazon description or on the packaging material that tells you this.
I had 9 years of mini DV tapes that needed dubbing to an external hard drive before the tapes went bad or my camcorder no longer worked. I was concerned because the card slot size opening was larger than the card, but there are actually two slots in the opening of my laptop. I used the top slot, which if you use a flashlight to look at, has a smaller amount of terminals and fits perfectly. I am able to transfer the mini DV tapes to digital format and I am completely satisfied.
My laptop never saw the card??? tried quite a few times.. I think that laptops that didnt have firewire installed originally just have problems seeing it
UPDATE:  This card does work with 32bit version of Studio 1 and using the legacy firewire drivers - I just arrived at this solution by trail and error so the process was frustrating but everything is working flawlessly now.
I needed a low cost card to use for a firewire connection to my camcorder. This card serves the purpose well. It was discovered by Windows 7 and drivers automatically installed. This is a good card for a good price.
Best Connectivity ExpressCard to Firewire IEEE 1394a Controller Card...It works perfectly.What more can I say?Nice price, nicely made, fast shipping, another Amazon positive transaction....Thank You
Why isn't anyone except Mac and Sony putting Firewire on their computers? Thankfully this card still allows me to connect my Sony HDV HVR A1U to my old laptop. I use to teach video editing and it works flawlessly.Good product.
So, I have two Unibrain Fire-I Cameras. They have the ability to be daisy chained which makes cable management easier. Only 1 at a time will work when daisy chained with this card. With the Startech firewire card, I can use both cameras at the same time when daisy chained.
Works absolutely GREAT with my Pana DVX-100B, comes with a wire and DOES NOT need an external power source. Would recommend to anyone tired of searching for a fairly priced operational firewire to express card adapter. 3 thumbs WAY WAY up
Answer: The ports are for 6 pin firewire and it works just great.  I used mine every day for over a month in studio, recording from HD video camera direct to computer SSD with no issues.
