Firewire PCI card for Mackie Onyx 1640i

Post by xabiche »

The Mackie user forums are dead so I'm not sure where to look these days for info like this. I need a PCI firewire card to use with the 1640i and I seem to remember posts on the old user forums about certain chip sets being better than others. Any ideas?
