Since things are quiet with no one posting much, I thought I would put
my head above the parapet for once and ask if anyone knows about this.
I had a PC running Win 10, with a motherboard containing a built in
firewire socket. Using Windows 7 drivers, I was able to make this work.
However, the new PC does not have a built in firewire socket. I got a
PCI firewire card
(https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
which came with its own VIA driver.
This is not allowing the Firewire 410 driver to be installed. After
some searching, I found that legacy IE1394 OHCI compliant drivers have
to be installed. However, when I try to install the drivers
(downloaded from a link on the Microsoft knowledge base), the computer
crashes with an "Uncorrectable error" blue screen.
Has anyone managed to solve this?
Should I just dispose of the Firewire 410 and get a USB device
instead? I am not a professional - just enjoy recording my own stuff
for fun so I can't justify spending more than about £175.
Many thanks to all,

I never had anything but difficulties with VIA chipset firewire
interfaces. An alternative ( can't remember what ) works fine.
Yep, as others have said, the only FW chipsets that actually work are
from TI and Agere.
