Hmmm, my understanding is that the TI firewire chips were THE best chips

though i mainly work at 48 kHz/24 bit, it works fine at 96/24 as
well with my Editorl FA-66. however, it appears my controller is not
VIA but TI:

05:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments XIO2200A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller

only problem is the previously mentioned problem with hot-plugging (i.e.
where the card must be in the laptop at boot up). otherwise works
great.

So does it also work at 88.2kHz and higher for you?

while we are on the topic, does anyone know of a
non-Apple laptop
(current or old) that has a /powered/ Firewire 400 6 conductor port?
though the StarTech ExpressCard solution works well and provides 2x 6
conductor ports, the physical ExpressCard connection is sensitive to
vibration/movement and is easily dislodged. also, since it does not
provide power via the FireWire ports, i need to also carry around the
FA-66's power brick.
Don't know about that. My ~$1000 Linux laptop from System76 doesn't even
have an ExpressCard port: it's all USB2 and 3 only.
