More Fire(Wire) Power
Does
your computer have enough FireWire connections for your digital device
collection? FireWire 400 is still the fastest interface found on many
peripherals. From external drives, DV camcorders, and audio interfaces,
to digital cameras and scanners, thousands of devices connect to
computers via FireWire. If you've purchased a new computer recently,
you may have noticed a complete lack of FireWire 400 ports. So, how

dilemmaÑinstall Sonnet's Allegro™ FW400 PCIe to instantly add three
