Firewire 800 is not supported in Vista. Do you have a Firewire 400 card?

These unibrain drivers are only for harddrives, they are not compatible with audio or video devices.

Re: new vista install. loaded fireface drivers not working..

sorry Jeff, what do you mean with "Firewire 800 is not supported in Vista"?

I switched from XP (acer notebook) to Vista (hp notebook) and I'm using the same FF800 with no problem at all.
My only suggestion could be to re-write the driver installation procedures, as the XP related ones do not seem to work with Vista, but I'm basically an analog guy, so I dare not say anything more in this field sad

Jeff's post says "Firewire 800"... not Fireface 800. He's referring the type of Firewire cable/connector i think.
