Hello,
I just received my XPS 8500 with windows 8.
I plugged in the Startech firewire 1394a PCI Express card
(http://intrl.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/FireWire/2-Port-PCI-Express-1394-FireWire-400-Card~PEX1394A2 )
but it doesn't get recognised (does not appear in the device manager). I tried slot 1 and 2 but neither seem to work.
Is it a problem with Windows 8 or with the computer? I have the same card on another Windows 7 PC working perfectly.
Thanks for your help,
