Preface:
Thank you for purchasing the Hama FireWire
Combo PC Card. You have chosen a high-qua-
lity product that you certainly will enjoy for a
long time to come. These instructions explain
the installation and handling of the Hama
FireWire Combo PC Card.
A brief overview of the technology:
FireWire/IEEE 1394a:
IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire and iLink)
was developed jointly by the Apple Computer
and Sony companies. Today, FireWire is the
standard in digital video editing and is used
increasingly in other areas such as data bak-
kup or networking.
The FireWire standard provides a powerful
and economic opportunity to transfer greater
amounts of data between digital photo and
video equipment and your computer. Because
of the completely digital connection between
both components, there is no loss of quality.
FireWire B/IEEE 1394b:
IEEE 1394b, also called FireWire 800, is a furt-
her development of the IEEE 1394a standard.
The new standard is 100% backwards compa-
tible so that you can use the FireWire Combo
PC Card Controller with end devices compati-
ble with the previous standard. Some main dif-
ferences to the previous standard include the
new, nine-pin plug and twice the speed.
