Ableconn PEX-FW107 1394b & 1394a 3-Port PCI Express (PCIe) Low Profile FireWire Host Adapter Card – TI XIO2213 Chipset

Like another reviewer this was the second FireWire adapter card I tried. I needed to connect a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 audio interface to a new PC running Windows 10 version 1909. The first card I bought was a StarTech brand one from NewEgg which didn’t end up working.Initially after connecting this card to port PCIe x1_1 of my Asus Prime Z390-A motherboard the system would not POST. I tried several BIOS tweaks (with the card removed) but nothing let the system boot with this card installed. Finally I moved the card to a different port and the system does boot. I discovered that no BIOS settings needed to be changed from their default values, and that this adapter card only works in PCIe x1 ports 2 or 3, not port 1.Thankfully there were no more difficulties after that. I connected my audio interface, booted the PC, and it worked. I did not have to install any special drivers. Overall a huge relief after having struggled with the bad card from NewEgg and having my system initially fail to POST with this one.
