Granite Digital's superb FW800 PCI host card is the leading performer for Mac computers. Supporting a full 800Mbit/second through the available two FW800 ports and an added FW400 port at 400 Mbit/sec gives versatility and performance unequaled by any other FW800 host. This single channel host card will work perfectly in all Macs running OS versions that support 1394b FW800.

FireWire Host Adapter Feature:

• Firewire 800 PCI Card with two external 1394b/FireWire 800 9-pin ports and one external 1394a/FireWire 400 port
• Perfect solution to connect with 1394b/FireWire 800 external hard disks and other external 1394b/FireWire 800 devices
• Serial bus data rates of 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 Mbits/s
• 64 bit PCI host adapter
• 33-MHz/64-bit and 33-MHz/32-bit* selectable PCIinterface
• Backward compatible with 1394a/FireWire 400
• Compatible with PC and Mac
• FireWire 800 can burst data across 100 meters of cable
• Bus power for peripherals on each of the 3 ports with up to 1.5amps per port with an aux. internal power cable
• Works in a 64 bit or 32 bit slot*
• Fully compatible with FireWire 400 (1394A) devices when used with a 9 Pin to 6 or 4 pin cable
• *In a 32-bit slot, the card will always work at 1394a speeds (100/200/400).

Data Transfer:
Serial bus data rates of 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 Mbits/s

Architecture:
33-MHz/64-bit and 33-MHz/32-bit* selectable PCI interface

Compatability:
Backward compatible with 1394a/FireWire 400
*in a 32-bit slot, the card will always work at 1394a speeds (100/200/400).

Notes:

• If you insert the PCI Card into a 33-MHz/32-bit slot, the transfer data rate will be reduced to 1394a/FireWire 400 speeds.
• Macintosh with 64-bit/33MHz (recommended) or 32-bit/33Mhz PCI slot. Power Mac Blue & White G3 or later, all AGP Power Mac G4 systems and later supported.
• FireWire 800 requires Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later, (Mac OS X 10.2.5 or later recommended). FireWire 800 is NOT supported under Mac OS 9. Speed reverts to FW400 in OS9 or minimum OS8.6 up to OS9.2.2.
• Must use 9 pin to 6 pin adapter cable to connect to FireWire 400/1394a devices.
• Any Mac with a 33MHz or 66MHz PCI slot.
• FireWire requires Mac OS 8.6 or later.
