Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an Actiontec 1394 FireWire Card. Actiontec’s implementation of the IEEE 1394 standard brings the latest in serial bus technology to your PC in an inexpensive PCI card. An integral part of any PC-based video editing solu- tion, the 1394 FireWire Card also opens you up to a world of other fast, inexpensive peripherals, such as storage devices. FireWire devices also support “hot-swapping”—the ability to install and remove the devices without turning your computer off to do so.

Easy to install, the 1394 FireWire Card is a very convenient way to expand your PC into the world of IEEE 1394 devices.
