    Hi Guys,

    i just bought a Presonus Firestudio Tube and as usual i collected information about it in the web. So i mentioned that most users of the Presonus Firestudio Interfaces have Problems with their Firewire Card.

    Presonus published this list of compatible Firewire chips: http://www.presonus.com/media/pdf/hardware_compatibility.pdf

    So i was searching the whole web for a Firewire Card which has one of the "good" Chips on it. But when you try to get proper product information about these PCI cards you cant find out which chip is used on them...

    So is there anybody in this forum who uses a Firestudio Interface from Presonus with a extra Firewire PCI card (NOT PCIe!) and havent had compability issues ever? Or somebody who knows about a Firewire card with one of the particular chips of this list?

    I just found 2 and they cost more than 40€(53$) which i think is too much...

    thank you!

    I've used my Firestudio 26x26 with both a VIA VT6307, and a VIA VT6306 with no problem. Don't ever pay that much for a firewire card... I got THREE of the VT6306 for like 5 bucks on ebay.

    I bought a Belkin firewire card at Staples. Fucking overpriced, but hell it's been working for a long time. Has TI chip.

    There doesn't seem to be any other markings on the PCI cards... You sure Via doesn't make the whole thing? I'll take a couple pictures.
