--- You wrote: Recently, CompUSA had a Siig USB/Firewire combo card at $39.00, which was a $40 savings off their regular price. However, I didn't purchase it because nowhere on the box or at Siig's web site did it mention anything about Mac support. I recall reading thread on this list before concerning cards that worked both platforms.
Would it have worked? --- end of quote --- Maybe. Probably, in fact. I have had three combo cards. One is a "no name", the second another no name from Cyberguys, the other a Smart Disk. I replaced the no names with the Mac supported Smart Disk card, because I had been seeing some intermittant behavior on the firewire side, during video digitizing and video output and when connected to my firewire drive. The Cyberguys card went back to them. The other no name has been in my wife's Supermac and my PowerPC 7600 at work and has done fine with my firewire drive in both machines. And I've seen occasional firewire intermittence during video work in the Smart Disk card. But I think that may have been cured since I added a couple of extra cooling fans to my Beige MT. They blow right on the pci boards, so overheating could have been the problem with all the cards. In addition to the combo card, there's a Radeon 7000 and an ata 133 card tightly packed in there, so it might have been toastier than the firewire card would have liked. Who knows?
