I never was able to get my Adaptec firewire card to work in Win98SE, despite
all the official claims that WIN98SE supports it. I did all kinds of
hotfixes, wasted time with tech support from both Adaotec and (don't get me
started on this!!!) actually even called Microsoft for support. What a bad
joke.

For me, the fix was to get a newer computer with WinXP Pro, which if course
also has a faster processor than the old one. All of the firewire problems
vanished, and I was using it to capture digital video with my first try.

I hope you have greater success with your current operating system. Good
luck!
