Topic: PCI / PCIE card for fireface 800?

Hi all!

Just bought myself a brand new fireface 800 but I need to pick up a firewire controller card. Any suggestions for one that works with windows 7 (64-bit) and os-x?
I got a Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard, it does have firewire but it didnt come with the bracket for it so theres no physical connectors for it, and its also a VIA chipset which I understand isn't ideal to use.

I've searched for a few hours but it seems its mostly old information, or very confusing information. Any help would be great!

Thanks.

Hi Barney,
This SIIG Firewire 400 PCI-e card works great on a PC and a PC running Hackintosh.

Make sure you plug in the internal power connector.

Thanks Chris

I've been trying to find this card somewhere in Scandinavia (I live in Sweden) but I'm not having any luck. Newegg doesnt ship internationally.

I've found a firewire card locally that someone said works fine with their motu soundcard. Not sure if that says anything about how fireface works with it? Anyone have any experience with it? http://www.st-lab.com/assign.asp?keyid=bf3

Thanks for any reply! Cant wait to get my fireface up and running!

It does work on W7 32 bit, not sure about os-x or 64 bit.

But for € 30 + post and package ............
