I bough this adapter card because I acquired a Nikon CoolScan 9000 slide/film scanner that had a FireWire interface, which my laptop (Lenovo X201 running Windows 7 64-bit) did not have. The adapter card fit nicely into the ExpressCard slot and was easy to get working by going to Device Manager and having Windows search for a driver, which it did successfully. However, the cable from the scanner did not fit into the FireWire port on the card. After learning something about FireWire, I found that the scanner was FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) with a 6-pin connector, while the adapter card was FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) with a 9-pin connector; the latter is downward-compatible with the former with a suitable connector adapter. So I ordered the "StarTech 6 ft IEEE 1394 Firewire Cable 9-6 M/M..." (also from Amazon) and everything connected fine. There was a compatibility issue between the supplied software (Nikon Scan 4) and Windows 7 64-bit, but I found a fairly simple fix for that in Google search under "Nikon Coolscan in 64 bit Windows 7 Success" which gave a step-by-step way to solve the problem. and I was in business!
As others reviewers have said, StarTech products seem to be well made and nicely documented, and I would certainly order other products from them.
