IEEE 1394b driver information

You can connect your IEEE 1394b/a devices to the IEEE 1394b ports after
installing the IEEE 1394b/RJ-45 ports module and the TI IEEE 1394b driver.
The IEEE 1394b allows transfer speed of up to 400 Mbps and supports
most IEEE 1394b/a consumer electronic (CE) devices, except the IEEE
1394a digital video (DV) camcorders.

If you wish to connect a DV camcorder to the IEEE 1394b ports, use the
Microsoft 1394 stack driver.

Your IEEE 1394a DV camcorder can achieve a maximum 100 Mbps data
transmission rate when connected to an IEEE 1394b port.

To switch to the Microsoft 1394 stack driver:
