Overview

Faster, less troublesome, more efficient bus technologies, such

as USB and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) are gradually replacing

traditional ISA bus (serial, parallel) technology

In contrast to the ISA bus which does not offer the speed and

connectivity required for today’s mass storage and large data

The IC-1394 3-Port IEEE 1394 PCI Card is a unique and elegant

implementation of the FireWire Hub principle. Instead of taking

up space on the desktop as a separate unit, it plugs into a PCI

slot on the computer’s mainboard. In this way, the IC-1394

communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

Automatically Uses the Highest Speed the Peripheral Supports

three ports to computers that already do.

Connecting external peripherals is as easy as plugging in cables. The

hassle of having to open the computer in order to install complicated

hardware and configure jumpers and switches has been eliminated.

Configuration is automatic - there is no need to specify memory

addresses, IRQ assignments, device IDs, or to plug in terminators.

Hot swapping capability allows IEEE 1394-compliant peripherals

to be added and removed seamlessly - without the need to shut

the computer down. The card supports data transfer rates of

100, 200, and 400 Mbps (megabits per second), and

automatically switches to the highest speed that the peripheral

supports.
