IOGEAR brings USB 2.0 and FireWire to your desktop computer in a single convenient host controller card. IOGEAR"s USB 2.0 / FireWire Combo Card is a great addition for anyone needing to integrate the latest in digital technology while preparing their system for future connectivity devices. IOGEAR"s combo card features 3 external Type A USB ports and 2 external 6-pin FireWire ports.
REVIEWS: 1) Excellent product, good price, wide compatibility: This card is an excellent combination of both Firewire and USB2.0 ports, making it a very good single PCI slot way of adding both capabilities to an existing PC. I have two of these cards in two different PCs and they have both worked flawlessly, the first one for over a year now and the second one since I purchased it several weeks ago. This card has wide OS support. I have used it under Windows 98 SE, Windows ME and Windows XP, and also under several variants of Linux, including VectorLinux, Arch Linux and recently Yoper Linux 3.0. The price is very reasonable for what you get. So, with a reasonable price, a compact single slot "footprint" and wide OS support, this card is a great way to augment an existing PC. Strongly recommended. 2) Easy installation but unreliable Firewire slots, slow warranty repair: I"ve had this card installed since Nov. 2006 and just now found out that the 2 Firewire ports only work intermittently. I thought my new camcorder was messed up when I tried to use the Firewire port on the Iogear card. But when I plugged into another non-Iogear available Firewire slot, the camcorder worked. Now I have to go through the hassle of trying to get warranty work for the Iogear card. The USB ports on the card have worked okay.
Update: Over 3 weeks and I"m still awaiting my warranty work repair/replacement from Iogear.
3-23-07 Update: Finally got the warranty replacement. Everything seems to be working now. I would now rate this about 3 stars. 3) Booyashaka: I use this all day for work. Not only does it continue the sleek and simple look of my computer, but it also didnt put a dent in my wallet. 4) Great product - Installs Easily: This is a no brainer. Simple to install, works as advertised. Price was excellent too. 5) Awesome card: If you"re without firewire or USB 2 connections this card is a must have item. I can now plug my camcorder into my PC and download video footage. It"s really easy to install and works right out of the box with Windows XP.
