How can you tell if it has that chipset? Any link to that particular card?

The Syba card is mentioned all over this place...a simple text search for Syba would have gotten you what you need (so next time... !!)

I have gone through most of this thread and am thoroughly confused...
Is there a consensus on FireWire 800 cards for current boards (like an ASUS Z170-Deluxe with an i7 6700K) with UEFI bios with Sierra?
It seems there are three main FW 800 (1394b) boards mentioned in here:
Those with LSI FW643 Chipset (StarTech PEX1394B3)
Those with TI XIO2213A Chipset (SYBA SD-PEX30009)
Those with TI XIO2213B Chipset (SYBA SY-PEX30016)
There are conflicting mentions of each working, I suspect varying on the OS X version and motherboard. What is the best one for a new build today?
I also have read something about the FW643 earlier chipsets having serious problems with current systems that was fixed in later revisions of the chipset (revision 8 I think I read...?). What revision does the StarTech PEX1394B3 have?
Thank you!

For the longest time, the TI-based FW cards are pretty much the "holy grail" for OoB compatibility. You can't go wrong with the Syba card (I believe the SYBA SY-PEX30016 is the newest generation of the card - the PEX30009 is really hard to find these days)

Hey,
I'm pretty confused with this thread, not shore what i should be looking for in a PCI option. Have no space for PCIE card. I'm running Yosemite on a GA-Z97M-D3H.
I posted on this thread last year but no one suggested anything, hopefully some might be able to help now.
Thanks!

The sweet spot is the TI XIO2213B chipset. IDK if it's picky about the slot.

Hey everyone, I'd just like to chime in here. I recently snagged the Syba SY-PEX30016 for use with a Presonus 32.4.2ai sound console. I haven't had access to the soundboard since I received the card, but it has been very inconsistent with connecting to two Rocstor firewire800/400/usb2 combo ext drives that I have. I can only connect using one of the fw800 ports and only with one cable out of 3. It is super weird and I don't know what is wrong.
Running 10.12.2 with a 6700k, Asus Z170-a (latest BIOS), and GTX-950

A FW audio interface, and 2 FW drives...all on the same FW bus? That's sort of asking for trouble. You really need to look at ways of balancing your I/O load. You may want to think about having the Presonus be the only device on your FW card, and then get another FW card for your drives. Or consider USB3 drives (they are so cheap these days).
