USB 2 & Firewire Card
 

Thinking of getting the above, and found this on dabs......

Bit confused though. What does it mean when it says that some ports are external, some internal ??

Just that there will be an internal connection on the card so that you could (if you had one) wire the card up to a front socket.

Here's a 5-port USB card. Notice that only 4 ports are available on the backplate on the LHS. These are accessible from outside the computer.The 5th is the shiny bit on the RHS and is there to connect to something inside the computer.

BTW that's a very good price for a combined USB/Firewire card - well spotted.

Yeah, had a couple of other orders from Dabs so thought I'd try them first. Got some good reviews too.

Thanks for info - think I'll order now !

Well, bought it. Fitted it in seconds, and XP recognised it, and installed drivers - ready to use.

Superb. Thanks guys.
