Zonet Firewire/USB2.0 PCI Combo Card Model ZUC2400

Pros: Great card, instantly recognized by Windows XP, can't beat the price. Most cards with only USB cost $30+.

Cons: The vertical Firewire ports make it almost impossible to plug in devices. The case frame around the PCI slots gets in the way.

Overall Review: I had reviewed this product earlier. I gave it a poor review because I could not get it to work. However, I was told by many people to try multiple PCI slots, so I took out my old modem that I don't use anymore, and it worked!

Pros: Plug and play with Win XP. Fast transfer. Space saving USB + firewire combo in one card...2 for 1! Works with my iPod nano, external card reader and Panasonic GS150 digital video camera.

Cons: Vertical firewire slots can be difficult to use. Cables do not plug in all the way due to external enclosure and PCI slot configuration. I got around that by cutting back the edge of the rubber part of the firewire cable a bit (chamfering/bevel). You only need to modify the cable once and you're done. Your configuration may vary.

Overall Review: I got an iPod nano and needed a USB 2.0 port to sync and charge with. My older Dell Dimension (8200) only had USB 1.0 and no firewire. Plugged in, XP detected, and up and running. Later I bought a Panny camcorder and I was already set for uploading video. USB and firewire works great. It would have been nice to have an internal USB pin connector on the card to connect front USB ports and internal card readers, etc...my fault for not being able to see into my future for my needs. =) Newegg rocks. Best pricing, great service, fast shipping.

Pros: Easy installation.. adds a lot of usb and firewire ports

Cons: dv video import via firewire skipping frames

Overall Review: When I got this card and installed in a new system I thought it was great. I installed xp on a fresh drive and the card got detected no problem. Hard drives and CD drives I connected to the card seemed fine. The problem with the card happened when I went to import some dv video via the firewire port. It was skipping frames and acting weird. I thought it was my video editing software. Eventually I figured it out it had nothing to do with that as I tried 3 different video editing packages. I also tried different drivers for the card. The answer in the end was the VIA firewire chipset this thing uses must be cheasy. I put in my old 3 port firewire card and it fixed all the problems. Now DV video via the firewrie port imports no problem.

Pros: Card works well. I've not had problems connecting any USB or FireWire device to the card. WinXP installed it seamlessly.

Cons: The internal connectors are not what I'd hoped for. The card was bought so I could connect the front firewire ports of my case. The internal port is not designed for pins, simply another cable. Useless for my application.

Pros: From the others reviews, this combo card would seem to be a low-cost and great functioning product. Most buyers seem to have zero problems. Newegg, of course, is great as always.

Cons: DO NOT buy this card if you motherboard runs with a VIA chipset. I have a KT7E motherboard running an AMD processor. My computer will not load into Windows XP (SP2) with this card installed in a PCI slot. I have had no success in finding a solution. BEWARE and check your motherboard before buying this product! Read some of the other reviws of people with VIA chipsets.

Overall Review: Just check your hardware before buying this low-cost and great sounding product. According to some of the other reviews, Intel hardware seems to run this fine.

Pros: plugged it in, turned back on and it came up immediately. was transferring vido data via fire wire in 5 min. no problems whatsoever with the case, operating system or anything

Cons: seems like the plugs are installed upside down from what I am used to, but other than that none.

Overall Review: I have XP pro SP2 and have no issues. for those who said it didn't work I can say it works great.

Pros: I bought this to give me a few extra USB ports and for the firewire ports. I'm using it with the ASUS P5B mobo and everything works great. Its cheap and does exactly what its suppose to, you can't ask for more.

Cons: none

Pros: This is definately the best USB firewire PCI card out there! The cheapest overall, and absolutely no driver issues, even on Windows 98!

Cons: There is no port on the card to hook usb 2.0 to the front of the computer, I have to wire one myself.

Overall Review: Buy this one, its excellent!
