Win XP Firewire for Panasonic NV GS50

You should check your motherboard manual. You may find that some PCI slots
are unavailable for use because technically they're already being used by
such hardware devices as onboard LAN, modem etc.

Although it seems as though you do have (say) 6 PCI slots, it's often the
case that unless you disable some onboard hardware, you really only have
(say) 4 actually available for your usage.

This info may be helpful if your WinXP could not detect firewire card.

I bought a snazio firewire card and installed in my computer,
apparently the devise manager didn't recognize it and no indication of
any IEEE 1394 on the drop down list.

After many unsuccessful attempts to make my WinXP detect the newly
installed firewire card I decided to relocate the firewire card to
another PCI slot and after reboot it works perfectly.

Now I have my Panasonic GS50 camcoder successfuly connected to my
computer and the Ulead movie editing application able to capture the
video from it without any single frame drops.

You may give a try if you had the same problem

Sorry, that does not bother me at all, mine is an HP and HP technician
would not be bothered on which slot to be used as long as the slots
are empty.

There is also no necessity to swap with any used PCI slot to make sure
the newly installed firewire card to work. Just try to use the empty
slots.

When I checked the internet last time there are many cases similar to
mine that WinXP couldn't detect the newly isntalled firewire card.

They might installed the firewire card incorrectly in the first place,
as I did, so to swap the card to another empty slot is advisable since
it works for me.

My $0.02.....
