It was very easy to install this card. I was also able to get the software up and running in less than an hour. It is quite easy too. It allows you to overlay mp3s which i think is really cool.

(Edited May 07th by ginseng) This is my first firewire cardbus. Works great when used to connect a Sony digital camcorder and a Western Digital external hard drive to my laptop. The quality of transferred image is great. No installation is needed for windows XP.

Bought it at a bargain. Use it with my laptop for transfer of data to external hard drive and also for video transfer from miniDV camcorder. Works excellent. Even comes with video software.

Real easy setup, especially on MS XP operating system. Hooked it to my Toshiba laptop, restarted and the driver installation was completed. I used the card to download an antire 60 min DV recording from my Canon Elura, and the card performed perfectly. Couldn't have been happier with this...

(Edited December 20th by sboris) I don't have USB 2.0 in my laptop, so after purchasing Plextor external DVD/CD recorder I chose a most unexpencive option: buying StarTech.com 2PORT IEEE-1394 FIREWIRE Card. I didn't burn any DVD yet but after burning several CDs I am very satisfied by this product.

I was looking for a means to connect my Panasonic DVD camera to my new laptop. The laptop didn't come with firewire. So for $24 I have a workaround that makes it a snap to transfer digital movies to my computer and process them

I bought a Dell expensive laptop. This did not come with IEEE 1394 port. So I just wanted some IEEE 1394 PCI card with low price. This did suit to my requirement very well. I did transfer data from my Canon camcorder to my laptop using this and the transfer rate is also reasonably good. No...

Installing and using this card is a piece of cake. Literally plug and play, very fast and with a cable for Digital Camera included, a real bargain.

The product except the cord is fine. The cord is there but it is of no use because it does not fit into my camcorder. It says it connects to most camcorders but in reality it does not. I have tried onnecting different models of Sony, like TRV-310 and TRV-210, but it does nto work. So budget for...

Open the box, insert it to PC MIC slot, connet the firewire to my Canon ZR 85. Then everything automatically works in my laptop. My system is XP. Just follow the instruction to use the Windows Movie Maker to capture the video. It's really an easy and happy thing to use this card. It's worth to...
