Is there a firewire card available that can be used with a Compaq
Presario? I have tried an Adaptec FireConnect 4300, but the metal
piece that holds the card is too big for the expansion slot.Hi thisisnotdawngavin-ga,
I find it very surprising that the Adaptec FireConnect 4300 does
not fit into a Presario's PCI expansion slot. Anyways a quick search
on the net and the USENET (Google Groups) revealed the names of the
following cards that people are using with their Compaq Presario :
- ADS Tech : Pyro 1394 FireWire Card
( http://www.adstech.com/ )
- KeySpan FireWire Card
( http://www.keyspan.com/products/fw/ )
An interesting posting that I found on the USENET was from a Compaq
Presario user who also had an Adaptec FireConnect 4300 card installed.

This posting, coupled with the fact that I was able to find no
mention of any incompatibility between the Adaptec 4300 and a
Presario, leads me to suggest that perhaps you might have
misinterpreted the installation instructions for the card. You can
find the installation instructions at :

)
Do you have a very old Presario system ?
You can find more information on available FireWire cards at :
