Firewire help

[robertbiferi]

I have a Firewire Card and I am trying to look up the specs on it like the speed and so on.

On the front of the Card it says
FRW6031-V
2004-03-12

And this is it then on the back of the Card it says.
100 3-PORT FIREWIRE WiiNT HDR
PO# 251991--1000

There is nothing anywere on the Card that can help me.

I found a similar one here: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=CX-P1394V2A&cat=CCD for $6

Basically its made by Via, there's lots of support options here: http://www.viaarena.com/Support.aspx
But for ealy 2004 I really think just throw it away

thanks but

for one thing how did you find it I put everything in google and found nothing??

And I think the one I have is PCI but the Contects not look like it.

The contecs look like this
Starting from the Back of the card were you plug the firewire in is a Little pice and then a Gap then a somewhat long pice then a Gap then a small pice

It was in a PCI slot but it does not match the PCI

And I don't know the speed

I searched Google:

www.google.com
www.google.com/ncr
www.google.co.uk
www.google.com.tw
I also selected "Advanced Search" in Google, which ironically gives more responses, even though I didn't change anything

For found results I checked "Cached" results of pages that did not load
I also did Google Translate on a couple of forums that spoke directly about your Model and exact Model number

That's how
Doesn't everyone search like this

Have you tried all the support options as linked? Even the manufacturers forum is listed
Google is good, but it should not be used as the one stop solution, this is why forums were made, for specific help/support on one thing
