USB/FireWire Combo From Orange Micro

From Doris Leung, "Orange Micro announces a single PCI card with both USB and FireWire to upgrade all legacy Macintoshes and PCs to current technology. The new expansion board is compatible with either Macintosh or PC computers. OrangeLink FireWire/USB PCI Board specifications: The OrangeLink FireWire/USB Board has 2 USB and 2 FireWire ports which are compatible with all known peripherals conforming to those specifications. It is a half size (7") PCI card. The FireWire ports run at 400 M/Bits per second and provide 15 watts of power on a typical system. They draw power from the PCI bus of a host system when it is needed by devices such as the new VST portable disk drives. The OrangeLink uses the new OHCI FireWire technology similar to that implemented on Apple's new G4 computer. The OrangeLink FireWire/USB PCI Board comes with two software packages which will allow users to connect Digital Video (DV) camcorders to the FireWire ports for input, output and video editing functions. Adobe Premiere LE is included for Macintosh users, designed for users who are new to digital video editing. More sophisticated software such as Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere 5.1c (full version) are also compatible with the OrangeLink series. The OrangeLink FireWire/USB PCI Board carries an MSRP of $159 and will be available for shipment in November 1999."
