"Follow exactly recommended installation procedure, i.e. remove and re-install the card with rebooting PC twice. Works OK for capturing from camera, not tested as NIC drive (but may work as well)."

"Required constant power cycling of the attached device (External Hardrive connected by firewire) in order to be detected by winxp. On two occasions it failed during a write and corrupted the table of contents causing loss of access to all data on drive. The data had to be recovered by expensive proffesionals. Not recommended."
