FireWire via mini-PCIe slot

Post by ke9ns »

The mini-PCIe slot is usually found in laptops and mini PCs.
StarTech.com makes a 1394 FireWire Card for mini-PCIe slots.
I have personally tested this and it works great with my Flex-5000 at 192khz SR (see my website for details)
This card can also be used in a M.2 slot if you get an adapter (M.2 to mini-PCIe)
