Can anyone recommend a good Firewire PCi card for G5??????

I want to expand my number of Firewire ports on my G5 dual 1.8ghz. Anyone know which is meant to be the best in terms of Compatibility, quality and price. I would like a couple of 800 and 1 more 400 preferably.

I would agree with that, go SATA if you're an island. That's what the majority of my system is set up with.
However, I also have a DSR-11 connected via firewire, and I get firewire drives shipped to me by clients, so I need an additional firewire bus. I bought the cheapest fw400 card I could find, and haven't had any issues yet. I think I spent $35 at CompUSA.
Are there issues that would make me want to buy a better card?

  • Can anyone recommend a good firewire 800 card?

    Hello,
    I have a 2003 MDD G4 Dual 1.25 and was wondering if someone can recommend a nice FW800 card for my system. Why am I asking and looking for FW800? Because it is much faster and produces more efficient results. Although, my machine is a FW400, also is there a way to get an adapter which can fit into one of my FW400 and convert it to a FW800? In other words, an adapter which would plug into a FW400 port but on the other end be a FW800 port?

    Hi-
    No adapters. FW 400 can be adapted to FW 800 (transfer is still FW 400 speed), but FW 800 cannot be adapted to FW 400 and get FW 800 speed....
    The only way is to use a FW800 PCI card.

  • Can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

    can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

    The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

  • Can anyone recommend a good UPK library structure for Oracle financials 11.5.10.2 (using UPK 11.1)?

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a good UPK library structure for Oracle financials 11.5.10.2 (using UPK 11.1) please?

    If you are using the application server that comes with Oracle Applications - you probably need to use the JDeveloper version that comes with that one too. (The OAF forum will have more info on this).
    If you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3 then you can use a stand alone OC4J 10.1.3 to deploy your applications - and save yourself the hassle of messing up with your apps server.

  • Can anyone recommend a good firewire hub?

    We have a 2009 imac with one firewire 800 port, also I will soon be buying a new 15 or 17" Macbook Pro. I have run into problems trying to connect several firewire devices up at the same time due to there only being the one firewire 800 port. For instance, I might have a firewire audio interface, a DV camcorder, and a firewire hard drive that I use together when editing music and video.
    I reliable powered firewire hub would make life a lot easier.
    Can anyone give me some recommendations?
    Thanks.

    something like this might work for you:

  • Can anyone recommend a good 802.11n card/usb adaptor for a Windows PC?

    I'm about to buy a new iMac and an Airport Extreme Base Station, and I would like my wife's Windows XP PC to be able to take advantage of 802.11n, as the base station will be in the living room and our office room (where the new iMac and the PC live) gets a terrible reception with 802.11g (thick interior walls being the main problem).
    I've had a look online at various USB/PCI products, but can any of you recommend one that works particularly well with the Airport Extreme?
    Perhaps the Airport Express would be the best solution, as my wife's PC has an ethernet card, plus we also have a USB printer in the office that we'd like to share over the whole house?

    I would agree with that, go SATA if you're an island. That's what the majority of my system is set up with.
    However, I also have a DSR-11 connected via firewire, and I get firewire drives shipped to me by clients, so I need an additional firewire bus. I bought the cheapest fw400 card I could find, and haven't had any issues yet. I think I spent $35 at CompUSA.

  • Can anyone recommend a good firewire 6 pin powered hub?

    Ideally UK sourced so I can connect at least three minimac HDD's to my macmini by 6pin firewire.
    Thx.

    I have 4 fw hard drives connect to my mac mini without the need for a hub. I just daisy chained them. This sill leaves me 1 spare fw port on 1 of the hard drives.
    However I have used powered firewire hubs before and the best one I found for a reasonable price was made be sitecom modem number FW009. I got one in a Maplin store but you can them on amazon for £29.

  • Can anyone recommend a good Password manager / safe for iPhone & Mac?

    Looking for a combination of an App and an Mac application that can safely encrypt all of my Passwords, memberships, bank details etc. etc.
    *I've found the following, but was curious in anyone can recommend one over another or a completley different solution altogether?*

    Thoughts & suggestions gladly appreciated.

    1Password has a very strong reputation among Mac owners--lots of people love it.
    I use and like Wallet on Mac and iPhone, but not really for the password manager aspects, although it is one:
    http://www.acrylicapps.com/wallet/
    For me, one really important issue is "will it sync without me having to think about it, or do I have to consciously open it and hit sync while on the same wireless network?" Wallet uses WebDAV or MobileMe (which works for me), 1Password has a Dropbox solution, not sure about the others.
    Download the trial versions for the Mac, see which one you are most comfortable with.

  • Can anyone recommend a good color laser printer for under $500?

    We have a small business that needs one. We’ve been using an Okidata C5300 for the last 6 years and it’s worked really well, but starting to have some issues with it, more so after Snow Leopard. I’m thinking it may be time to switch to a more modern design and driver. We need something that prints reasonably quickly, but doesn’t have to be a speed demon. Would like the cost of toner to be relatively reasonable, it’s amazing how that stuff adds up.
    Would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

    Based on your needs I think the OJ Pro series would work well.
    It prints at about 35 PPM so 150 -200 pages a day wouldn't be much work for it at all.
    The model I specified can connect via USB, Wi-Fi or Ethernet so you can easily connect to your network. It also does all of the functions over the LAN meaning print, scan, copy and fax and will do two kinds of jobs simultaneously. For example if user A is printing, user B can be scanning (or faxing or copying) at the same time.
    Do the arithmatic on it. Here is a web page HP supplies that helps you calculate the cost per page based on your needs. The URL for that is: http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/en-019/yieldSearch.html?cCode=us
    It also does auto duplexing printing, scanning & copying.
    It was designed specifically for people with needs similar to yours. There is a myth that Lasers are cheaper than Inkjet based on very old information.
    BTW I don't work for HP or sell HP products I'm just a satisfied end user. I'd recommend reading the reviews, looks like customers really like it.

  • Can anyone recommend a good case or skin for a 30 gig

    there are so many and many are ugly. i want something that you can still tell it is an ipod when the skin or case is on. thanks!

    GelaSkins, a Toronto based iPod skin company makes ultra-low profile, artist designed skins that will fit with virtually any accessory. You can protect your iPod from scratches without adding the bulk of other cases. No problem to use them with the iTrip or Dock connector, or even under a bulkier case if you are going to subject the iPod to serious abuse. Every skin comes with a great screen protector too. Crystal clear and bubble-free.
    I am an employee of GelaSkins, and I am obligated to share this with you as discussed in the Appple Discussions agreement. However, by looking up GelaSkins in any search engine you will find several independent review sites that can confirm my post.
    Hope you find the iPod protection you're looking for...

  • Recommendations? USB 2.0 & Firewire PCI card for MDD Dual Boot G4 (1.25 Ghz

    Can anyone recommend a good USB 2.0 and Firewire combo PCI card? (at least 3 USB 2.0 ports and 2 FW) for my G4 MDD Dual Boot- 1.25 Ghz)?
    I have an Orangelink+ Micro USB 2.0/FW PCI card from the days of OS 9- that's supposed to be USB 2.0 under OS X, but isn't (it shows up as max 12/mbps in System Profiler). I'd like to get an external Hard Drive and most of them are USB 2.0 now.
    Another question:
    Under system profiler, it shows that I have one USB 2.0 port. I'm assuming it's an internal port, because all of the external ports show transfer rates of 12mbps. Is this a correct assumption?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
