    Framegrabber IEEE1394a card, OHCI compatibel (TI chipset recommended)
    Microsoft Windows® operating systems include a bus driver to support the IEEE1394 bus. Unfortunately there are known bugs and stability issues that cause problems in industrial and professional applications with high reliability demands. VDS Vosskühlers alternative V1394Bus driver provides a solution to these problems. It replaces the Microsoft driver and supports OHCI-compliant host controllers.
