The card features the latest and greatest chipset (the Texas Instruments OCHI-Lynx) and fully supports standard 800 Mbps FireWire. So if you were jealous of the new PowerBook G4s with the faster port, you can now upgrade your machine. The cards are on sale now direct from the manufacturer for US$94.95. Dual-400 cards and PCI models are also available.
