Adds four FireWire 1394a ports to a desktop via PCI Express 1.1 using a VT6307 controller

  • Adds four FireWire ports to a desktop via a single PCI Express slot
  • Uses the VT6307 controller for IEEE 1394a link and physical layer functions
  • Supports hot-swappable connections for cameras, drives and multimedia devices
  • Compatible with PCI Express 1.1 and ACPI 2.0 power management
  • Works with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10

PCIe Firewire Adapter for Legacy Peripherals

This Vszerda adapter adds four IEEE 1394a ports to a desktop computer through a single PCI Express slot. It uses a VT6307 series host controller that integrates the link and physical layers for the Firewire bus. The card provides three 6-pin connectors and one 4-pin connector for attaching external devices. Supported operating systems include Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10.

Suits users with Firewire cameras or audio gear

Editors and musicians who still rely on DV camcorders, legacy audio interfaces or external hard drives that use the 1394a interface can restore connectivity on modern motherboards. The card supports hot-swappable connections and isochronous transmission for real-time media streams. Builders who need USB, modern high-speed storage interfaces or newer serial bus standards should choose a different expansion card.

VT6307 controller with PCI Express 1.1 interface

The VT6307 chip provides the bridge between the PCI Express 1.1 bus and the IEEE 1394a serial bus. It implements Open HCI 1.0 and 1.1 specifications along with ACPI 2.0 power management. This specific controller determines whether the card will be recognised by the target operating system and whether it can sustain the bandwidth required by the connected Firewire peripherals.

Questions about this item

Will the VT6307 controller chip ever need replacement?

The VT6307 chip is soldered to the board and is not a user-replaceable part; if it fails the whole card must be swapped.

What limits throughput when all four ports run at once?

The single PCI Express 1.1 lane caps total bandwidth, so sustained transfers on multiple ports share that ceiling.

How much heat or noise does the card produce during all-day use?

No active cooling is fitted; the VT6307 runs passively and draws power only from the PCIe slot, so it stays silent.
