I meant "best" in the sense of they worked reliably and were well

My old Toshiba laptop had a Firewire (FW400) port on it, with a TI
chipset, but I was never able to get to work with the FW800 device I had
to test with. I think problem may have been the adaptor I had to use.
But that laptop finally died and vanished into recycling heaven.
Sometimes I think a compact case with a microATX mobo and a PCIe FW card
wouldn't be much bigger than some laptops. Bring a small LCD display and
keyboard along with it, I suppose.

i am not sure about it being the best FW chipset, but i can vouch
that it works well with no problems (aside from the hotplug issue
already mentioned). On gio, 2014-06-26 at 09:11 +0200, Jeremy

So does it also work at 88.2kHz and higher for you?
Jeremy
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:
04:00.0 PCI bridge: Texas Instruments XIO2000(A)/XIO2200A PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev
03)
05:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments XIO2200A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller
