I guess first requirement is that you have enough processing muscle to do the job. This means normally a CPU with multiple cores and a L2/L3 cache over 1MB. Secondly, you need a motherboard well-engineered to reduce latencies. So far, Asrock boards are the King of the Hill by a long shot. ASUS is

Hi everyone, I'm still running PSDR version 1.18.3 with Firmware 1.3.0.6 and the Firewire driver version 3.4.2.6300 on my Flex5000A. Wondering if I can just do the upgrade or should I be looking at manually upgrading the Firmware and drivers to a more recent version first. I understand tha

One caveat: You can be fooled into thinking you have a custom driver for your card. Windows will report different driver names for the same driver. For instance, I see that in the 1394 device entry, it will report TI 1394 Controller driver yet when you look at what the driver name is (in the drive
