The 6-conductor and 4-conductor alpha FireWire 400 socket A 9-pin FireWire 800 connector The alternative Ethernet-style cabling used by 1394c 4-conductor (left) and 6-conductor (right) FireWire 400 alpha connectors A PCI expansion card that contains four FireWire 400 connectors. FireWire is Apple's name for the IEEE 1394 High Speed Serial Bus.
Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) [1] is an open standard.. Die shot of a VIA VT6307 Integrated Host Controller used for IEEE 1394A communication. When applied to an IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire; i.LINK or Lynx) card, OHCI means that the card supports a standard interface to the PC and can be used by the OHCI IEEE 1394 drivers that come with all modern operating systems.
A PCI card may include a program, compiled to FCode, which runs on any Open Firmware system. In this way, it can provide boot-time diagnostics , configuration code, and device drivers . FCode is also very compact, so that a disk driver may require only one or two kilobytes.
The user-mode drivers as well as the kernel-mode drivers for AMD FirePro products have additional features, and also (not depicted here) additional interfaces. [ 4 ] The FirePro line is designed for compute intensive, multimedia content creation (such as video editors), and mechanical engineering design software (such as CAD programs).

Fibre Channel host bus adapter. The term host bus adapter (HBA) may be used to refer to a Fibre Channel interface card. In this case, it allows devices in a Fibre Channel storage area network to communicate data between each other – it may connect a server to a switch or storage device, connect multiple storage systems, or connect multiple servers.

PCI Express Mini Card (also known as Mini PCI Express, Mini PCIe, Mini PCI-E, mPCIe, and PEM), based on PCI Express, is a replacement for the Mini PCI form factor. It is developed by the PCI-SIG . The host device supports both PCI Express and USB 2.0 connectivity, and each card may use either standard.
PCI cards: Gossamer has three full-length (12") PCI slots, making it capable of taking any PCI cards that have Macintosh drivers available for them (for example, some RealTek-based network adapters, a lot of USB, ATA/IDE [or SATA] and FireWire cards). Common PCI card upgrades include FireWire cards, USB cards and FireWire/USB combo cards ...
