Firewire PCI card TI Chipset & FW1884. What Else should I know?
Use a Tascam FW1884. Building a new computer. Need to include a TI Chipset Firwire card. Other than being TI Chipset, is there anything else I need to know ?

Tracey,
One thing to keep in mind, does the new motherboard have a PCI slot?
The ADS Pyro card I once used is a PCI card, it worked flawlessly.
I have a "newer" ADS Pyro PCI-e card, but I haven't had to use it because both my
Gigabyte boards have on board TI firewire.
In doing a quick search I see that the Pyro PCI-e card was discontinued back in May.
Many have/do use the Adaptec 4300 with good results. It is PCI, I'm not sure what the equivalent PCI-e card is.
I would stick with the TI chipset, but that's just me.
HTH,
T

I have never had any success using my FW-1884 qith anything but TI chipsets. The FW-1884 is particular about the FW controller. If you're configuring a new DAW, I wouldn't consider anything other than a quality TI chipset FW controller.

I can't "vouch" for the PCI-e Pyro, I have one in a box, but only as a "backup".
The PCI version worked great on my old XP rig.
My StudioCat and the FW are having this steamy affair so I'll just leave well enough alone!
Bapu can vouch for the Belkin; no-brainer!

dj,
You're using the PCI model, right?
Is there a PCI-e version?

The DM4800 and DM3200 (and their firewirecard) I have tested and found to be working with firewire 800 and a firewire 800 to 400 cable. I have worked with that setup on severall machines (all Mac) at severall places and they all work. No customer ever complained about this setup.
So maybe a firewire800 pci-e card might be a good thing...

Yeah Im using Pci My MB supports both .. I'm not sure if there's a PCI-E version , pretty sure there isn't.. At least not for the adaptec cards.. Anyhow it works perfect here, I also followed your instructions to a tee, as far as setting it up as a legacy driver with windows 7. My advice is Anyone who decides to use the Fw should check out your resources and follow your instructions..

Hi folks.... Does the above mean I can use the FW 1884 directly with any of the above instead of a PCI or PCIe card with a TI chipset... Thanks

Startech listed them as "approved".
for what? by whom? He also said he doesn't have an 1884.
If you want the FW to work; I'd get a TI chipset.
There's a utility on my 1884 pages that will test for the TI chipset.
Of course the card will have to be installed to test it.

IIRC, There were two specific TI Chipset Firewire controllers that were recommended for the 1884 Tascam, Mackie, and UA Firewire audio interfaces are finicky (even with the specific TI chipset) when it comes to Firewire controllers.

Awhile back in this thread, TraceyStudios asked this:
"any idea what the 400 Mbps or 800 Mbps means ?"
I'm pretty sure everyone on this thread knows this, but in case you don't, the FW-1884 came out long before there existed the 800 speed firewire.

Firewire 400 vs. Firewire 800 Firewire 800 has double the bandwidth For 99.9% of end users, it's a moot point as they're not running enough I/O to be anywhere close to saturating Firewire 400. Fireface UFX is a good example You can run 30 channels of I/O via Firewire 400 or USB-2 30 channels of I/O is enough for all but huge commercial facilities.
