Editorial Reviews :
Why buy two PCI cards when you can get all the high-speed connectivity you need using one Adaptec DuoConnect card? With FireWire and USB 2.0 connections on a single card, you save both money and a valuable PCI slot. And with Sonic MyDVD 3 software, you can easily create CDs or DVDs from your home movies. For speed and easy-to-use DV-to-DVD software you'll get where you want to go twice as fast with DuoConnect.
FireWire is as hot as its name suggests, supporting data speeds up to 400 megabits per second (Mbps). That speed made FireWire/1394/i.LINK the standard for multimedia input devices such as digital video (DV) cameras, high-speed storage devices, scanners, CD-RW, and DVD drives. In fact, you can 'daisy chain' up to 62 peripherals from the two external and one internal FireWire ports on your DuoConnect card. And because the DuoConnect supplies power through the FireWire cable, you can safely connect bus-powered devices to your system.

USB 2.0 combines high-speed performance with the plug-and-play simplicity that has made USB peripherals so popular. USB 2.0 products--including external CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, hard drives, and scanners--can run at up to 480 Mbps. That's 40 times faster than today's USB 1.1 peripherals. DuoConnect's three external and one internal ports provide maximum compatibility to thousands of current USB 1.1 and high-speed USB 2.0 devices.

Get in on the fun of digital video (DV) movie making. Use the video-editing software to capture footage from your digital camcorder; assemble a movie from your favorite scenes; and add titles, graphics, music, and special effects. It's fun and easy.

To share your latest adventure quickly and easily, fire up Sonic MyDVD software. In a few short minutes, you can transform and arrange your home movies into easy-to-navigate DVD menus--even give movies new names and include thumbnail buttons. Then burn your finished collection onto CD-R or DVD-R media to play back on your PC or TV. Share, store, and keep your memories alive for a lifetime.

Adaptec's 20 years of experience with high-speed technologies has given us the expertise to tackle technically difficult projects. That's how we were able to combine two state-of-the-art I/O protocols on a single PCI card, saving you money in your wallet and space on your computer. With your purchase of a DuoConnect card, you also get our five-year hardware warranty plus our superior telephone and online support.

Buyer Reviews :
I installed this into a Windows 2000 machine and it works flawlessly. It didn't require the installation of any extra drivers--Windows already had all that was required. The card has everything I need for my high-bandwidth requiring devices. It even has internal ports so I can plug the Firewire port on the front of my computer into it. Highly recommended!
