Description
This 2 Port ExpressCard FireWire Adapter Card adds two 1394b FireWire ports to a laptop computer, providing a cost-effective way to add IEEE 1394A and IEEE 1394B FireWire devices even if the laptop doesn't have a built-in FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 port. Simply insert the IEEE 1394B FireWire 800 card (EC1394B2) into an ExpressCard slot, and you'll be able to connect a broad range of FireWire devices to your laptop, while relying on data transfer speeds of up to 800Mbps.

Works like a dream.Cons: Like all expresscards, the spot where the plastic end meets the housing is a little weak.
Be careful not to bump it into anything and you should b fine.Driver installed automatically, and the card is shaped in a way that I can still use my USB port above the expresscard slot. That is about all I can ask for.
