Firewire card not showing up

[rcook55]

Just built my IvyHack based on the Gigabyte Z77-DS3H board. I had a Belkin F5U505 Firewire card which some searching suggests that it's a good card however I got nothing. System Profiler sees neither the firewire card or any PCI cards for that matter.

Suggestions?

I dont know how to help to help you there but if you are seeing any kernal panics an unreconised pci card can cause them.

Nope no KP's just doesn't see the card or drive. If I can't get this card to work I'm probably going to install an eSATA card instead as the drives have both and the eSATA is faster.

Yes good idea firewire is not very fast. If I was gonna get external drive it would either be thunderbolt, esata or USB 3
