It works ok, but I have to unplug my drive and plug it back in, to get it to mount. Card installed very easily. USB 2.0 works perfectly, and this is why I bought this card, but firewire has been a little flakey.
I have used it under Windows 98 SE, Windows ME and Windows XP, and also under several variants of Linux, including VectorLinux, Arch Linux and recently Yoper Linux 3.0. So, with a reasonable price, a compact single slot "footprint" and wide OS support, this card is a great way to augment an existing PC. This card is an excellent combination of both Firewire and USB2.0 ports, making it a very good single PCI slot way of adding both capabilities to an existing PC. The price is very reasonable for what you get. Strongly recommended. I have two of these cards in two different PCs and they have both worked flawlessly, the first one for over a year now and the second one since I purchased it several weeks ago. This card has wide OS support.
Everything seems to be working now. Now I have to go through the hassle of trying to get warranty work for the Iogear card. The USB ports on the card have worked okay.Update: Over 3 weeks and I'm still awaiting my warranty work repair/replacement from Iogear.3-23-07 Update: Finally got the warranty replacement. I've had this card installed since Nov. I would now rate this about 3 stars. I thought my new camcorder was messed up when I tried to use the Firewire port on the Iogear card. 2006 and just now found out that the 2 Firewire ports only work intermittently. But when I plugged into another non-Iogear available Firewire slot, the camcorder worked.
Not only does it continue the sleek and simple look of my computer, but it also didnt put a dent in my wallet. I use this all day for work.
Price was excellent too. This is a no brainer. Simple to install, works as advertised.
