IEEE 1394 option

I have a MS-6540G v2.X board.
IEEE 1394 is stated as an "option" on this board, but the connector is not fitted.
Can a connector simply be soldered in place, or are other components/modifications needed?

no there are additional components..controller chips transistors...etc

IEEE-1394 MoBo connector

Hi,
The Neo Platinum board has 2 IEEE-1394 connectors on it, according to the handbook.
However, these connectors are the same "9 out of 10-pin" connectors used for USB connections. While this may be fine for the MSI specific adaptor, my computer case has an internal wire with a normal IEEE-1394 6-pin connector on the end.
Anyone know where I could get an adaptor (in the UK)? I've looked on PC direct seller sites (dabs, etc) and on RS Components but I cannot find one.
Cheers,
David

Found this answer at microsofts website, looks like a winner for a lot of people.

I hope this can help you.
The 1394 bus driver that is included with Windows 7 replaces the 1394 bus drivers that were included with earlier versions of Windows. See this site for details

You can try the following steps to fix our issue, [sic] This solved my initial problems with a Maxtor III OneTouch drive.
1- Click the Start Button, type devmgmt.msc in the “Start Search” box and press Enter.
2- Expand the "IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers" node in the device tree on the right hand pane
3- Right click the host controller node select "Update driver software ..."
4- Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
5- Select "let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer ..." and Check the box before “Show compatible hardware”.
6. Choose the second option---1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy), and click next to update the driver.

IEEE 1394 add-on

Hello. I have the K8N Neo4-F (PCB 1.0)(MS-7125) motherboard, and I was wondering if it is possible to solder an IEEE 1394 connector onto the board and have it work? I noticed that on the board, there is a clearly marked set of solder points for a 1394 connector, and the manual calls it J1394_1 (optional). Apparently I got the option without the 1394 connector, but since the boards with that connector would use the same BIOS, would sticking my own in that slot work?

Ya i agree with Stick choice using the add-on card such as PCI. It's much more safe and cheap.

IEEE 1394 with NEO2 Platium?

As MSI Manual there is an option in the submenu Intergrated Peripherals -->Onboard Device, But I could not find this neither could I use the IEEE 1394 (it may be set to disable by default). Anyone who face the same prob? Please help me or I could not use my digital camcoder.
Thanks in advance!

Do yourself a favour and download the FULL manual from the MSI web-site - it is labeled E7025v1.0.pdf and it has 113 pages. It shows screenshots of the bios screen. The option you need is in Onboard Devices - VIA Onboard 1394 = Enabled.
The prob is that there is no option for VIA Onboard 1394, is it hidden? or there may be some jumper on the mainboard that disable the function?

How to connect a DV camera through the IEEE 1394 port on my A50?

Hi
I have been trying to connect a video camera to my notebook SA50-109 throught the IEEE 1394 port.. but the notebook didn't recognize the camera at all..
although the camera shows 'DV-in' when i plug the cable witch is (4-pin to 4-pin) DV cable..
is there any thing I need to do before to make it work?
any ideas.. please?

Hi there. Your PC should recognize automatically the DV camera. It's OK to have the firewire (1394) connection shown under "network connections". Next to mine it says "connected" although the harddisk connected to it is switched off. Maybe there is something wrong with the cable? Or, another suggestion, try to restart the laptop while the camera is connected ... Not many further suggestions I'm afraid ... Good luck!

I am using IMovie 11 with a new iMac. Unable to import video from a Panasonic PV-GS400 mini-DV camcorder using a Firewire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter which is then connected to a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter.

How can I get iMovie to recognize my Panasonic PV-GS400 as a device so I can import video to my iMac? I have a FireWire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to the camcorder. Since my new iMac has only Thunderbolt ports, I purchased a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter to connect to the cable. I also purchased a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter to connect to the computer. My camcarder is still not recognized.

I would suggest that you try a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable along with the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Those Firewire 400 to 800 adapters do not seem to work well with iMovie.
The 9 pin to 4 pin cables are available at reasonable prices here, for example.

How do I know if my T400 is with or without IEEE 1394?

My Lenovo automated diagnostics determined that the BIOS software on my T400 is flawed, and that I should download a replacement BIOS.
The page that I am led to gives me a choice of two different BIOSes:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-74161&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempsel...
One choice is T400's "with IEEE 1394, Package 3.09-1.05" and
the other choice is T400's "without IEEE 1394, Package 3.10-1.05"
How should I decide which BIOS to download?
Thanks, Bob W 31 Aug 10 1153 MDT.
Solved!

Take a look at the front of the machiine, extreme left, just under where your wristwatch band is w/fingers on the keyboard. There's a small socket there (to the left of the radio on/off switch) labelled "1394" if you have same.

HDX 18/dv8t IEEE 1394/Fire Wire performance problem in Win 7

The IEEE1394 interface lives on the PCI express bus at IRQ 16, which is shared by several other devices. Audio interfaces, such as the M-Audio Pro Fire and Fire Wire series do not work reliably with the shared IRQ. In Vista, by comparison, the IEEE 1394 interface has its own IRQ, and seems to run more reliably.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Well, I found a workaround for my issue. It's described in this article:
[url="iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop"]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836[/url]
By disabling the "Sandard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" in device manager, my iPod was correctly recognized and I was able to sync with iTunes. That's the good news.
The bad news is that: a) Windows warns me that my "device can operate faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port" - and the sync with iTunes runs slowly; b) if I reanable that USB device (as suggested in the Apple article, my iPod is no longer recognized.
For now, I'll just disable this device when I need to sync, then reenable it when done. But this is going to be a pain. I really don't consider this a fix. It's really annoying that the iPod is the only USB device that requires this kind of nonsense.
Looking forward to a "real" fix for this some time soon.

NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 hardware compatibilities

Need to check if the following camera can work with NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394?
http://www.ptgrey.com/products/dragonfly/index.html
thank you

If you look at How Can I Tell If My IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Camera Is Supported by the NI-IMAQ for 1394 you will find the dragonfly listed there.
You will also find a reference to Digital camera specification: 1.3 in the camera data sheet which confirms this.
Hope this helps!

Missing camera attributes with the NI IMAQ for IEEE-1394 driver

I'm using an ORCA-AG and the IEEE-1394 driver. When i look at the camera attributes (either with MAX or the attribtue inquiry vi.) i can see just some of them (brightness, shutter,...). I have tried the ORCA-ER, which has the same attributes, but uses the PCI-1424 framegrabber. Using this camera i can see and modify more attributes (light mode,...). How can i modify them with the IEEE 1394 driver?
I also have another problem. When i use 1x1 binning the image must be 8bits, if is use 16bits, max cannot aquire the image (timeout error). Does anyone have the same problem?
Thank you very much.

Some non-standard attributes can be modified by directly reading and writing to the memory of the camera. Your camera manual probably has memory locations listed for the different attributes. You can get to these using the low level firewire routines. I have done it once or twice.

My macbook's mini displayport is actually a IEEE-1394 Firewire port..

I jut got a mini displayport to DGA cable today and pluged in to my macbook but no signal to the external monitor.
I took a good look at the side of the macbook, and the mini displayport (supposed to be) has a mark of IEEE-1394 Firewire simble on top of the port.
left next to this port has a monitor simble but it is a different shape (got a longer tung).
Can any one tell me what is wrong?
By serching the web, they all say (and all look like) the one I pluged in is the mini displayport.
I'm panicking....

Glad I could help. Here's the EveryMac page on your MacBook if it's a White 2.1Ghz. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook-core-2-duo-2.1-white -13-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
Unless it's a White 2.4Ghz http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook-core-2-duo-2.4-white -13-early-2008-penryn-specs.html

Can I link my two laptops using IEEE 1394 (Firewire)?

Hi,
I have a X31 and a X60 laptop. Both are running on Windows XP Pro and both have IEEE 1394 (firewire) ports.
I seem to read it somewhere that I can do a network link between two laptops via the firewire ports.
However, it does not work for me after linking them with a firewire cable.
Am I missing something?

Am I missing something?
You have to configure the IPs on the both side as with any other network adapters.
Alternatively you can set the internet sharing to the fireware adaper, on one side only so the pc with internet shared will acts as DHCP server and the other will atutomagically configure itself with a correct IP.

T61p - IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port does not show up in device manager in Windows 7 x64

I have a T61p. On the front, in the left corner, right next to the wireless on/off switch, is a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. However, if I plug anything into it, it's not recognized by Windows, and if I go into the device manager in Windows, there is no IEEE 1394 host manager or ports or anything listed there.
I have rebooted and gone into the BIOS, and I don't see anything in there about 1394 either. Is the port there, but the hardwire inside is missing? Do I need to enable it somehow?

Let me clarify that. I have something in the device manager called "SD Host Adapters", and under that "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller". That thing has a Microsoft driver.
However, under "IDE ATA/ATAPI contollers", I do see "Ricoh Memory Stick Contoller", "Ricoh SD/MMC Host Contoller", and "Ricoh xD-Picture Card Contoller".
I also have "PCMCIA adapters" that has "Ricoh R/RL/5C476(II) or Compatible CardBus Contoller".
So, it would seem I have the right drivers for the card reader, I'm just missing anything for the IEEE 1394 contoller...

Connecting IEEE 1394 & I394b

I have a mid-2010 27' inch IMac and I would like to connect it to my cira 2001 Yamaha CD External Recorder. Both have firewire the Yamaha is IEEE 1394 and Mac is 1394b. Is that possible? If so, what wires and/or adapotors do I need to get to make everything work.

1394 is probably 400 (6 pins) and 1394b is 800 (9 pins). Do you have your Yamaha manual? It will tell you which Firewire port and cable you need. If you don't, you can Google the burner model number to find out. Sounds like you have 400 on the CD burner and 800 on the iMac. The 800 will slow to 400 when connected. Since the burner is 400 that can't be helped. You can get an 800 cable and a 800 to 400 adapter.
One way to solve it would be to go to a Best Buy that has an Apple Store inside, with your burner in hand, and show it to the guy/gal and tell him/her what you want to do. The cables won't be cheap there. You can look and then order online, or just buy there and be done with it.

P30: External HD isn't detected when using IEEE 1394 cable

My P30 won't/ can't detect my newly aquired Western Digitak Extreme Lighted Drive 320GB when I connect it via the firewire port. I use a 6 pin to 4 pin cable (which cost a fortune, by the way) that is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a pc.
My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called "VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".
Can anyone tell me what to do? I really need to connect this drive by firewire because I need the USBs for other devices.
Thank you!

This may sound like an obvious problem, but is the drive:
1. Set to Master on the jumpers?
2. Formatted?
If the drive is not set to master, the computer will not recognise it using 1394. And if it is set to master, but it has not yet been formatted, the computer will register that something using 1394 is connected, but will not know what to do. To format you right click on My Computer, and select manage.
Mike
