Hi there, |
2 |
Please take a look at |
3 |
http://search.ebay.co.uk/usb-firewire-pci-card_W0QQfcoZ1QQfromZR8QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1 |
4 |
for an example of the kind of cards I am thinking about buying. |
5 |
There are choices where one PCI card has two via processors which |
6 |
control 4 USB 2.0 and 2 Firewire ports. Since my existing Motherboard |
7 |
Asus A7n266-vm does not support USB 2.0 on resident ports, I am keen to |
8 |
have this add on. |
9 |
|
10 |
However, I am not sure whether PCI->USB2.0 and PCI->Firewire hardware |
11 |
like this would be supported in Linux. Of course, the advertisers |
12 |
consider it sufficient to say "Fully supported for windows xp". There is |
13 |
OHCI compliance advertised on these, but I am not sure whether that |
14 |
helps once the card is talking to my motherboard over a PCI interface. |
15 |
|
16 |
Has any of you successfully used it? Tips welcome. |

Thank you, |
