* Not all manufacturers implement protocols the same way. My firewire interface recommended using a firewire controller that uses Texas Instruments{{TM}} chips. So I bought a PCI card with TI chips to provide the firewire ports to connect to the interface, rather than use the motherboard's firewire port.
* If installing a card into the motherboard and things don't work correctly at first, try powering down and reseating the card, or try using a different slot.
* Not all USB ports are alike. Sometimes the motherboard divides them between multiple controllers, with some functioning better than others. If you experience poor performance, try switching ports and testing.
