6. SOUND CARD CONFIGURATION
6.1. FireWire ports
Your DIGIFIRE 7.1 card is equipped with 2 external FireWire ports and one internal FireWire port,
allowing you to connect a wide variety of peripheral devices: digital camcorder, storage peripheral,
external burner, scanner, printer, etc. FireWire works in much the same way as USB, but
provides transfer rates up to 32 times greater (393Mbps; USB 1.1: 12Mbps). Installing a
peripheral is very simple: with your computer turned on, simply connect it to a FireWire port and it
will be detected automatically. You should make sure to use dedicated software to get the most
out of your peripheral devices.
