Windows XP With SP2 / SP3 the default speed for 1394b is S100 (100 Mbit/s). A
download and registry modification is available from Microsoft to
restore performance to either S400 or S800.

Alternatively use the drivers of SP1 instead: Microsoft Windows XP SP2
and XP SP3 do not correctly support IEEE 1394b FireWire adapters.
Downgrading the Windows XP FireWire bus driver to the SP1 version is
required for IEEE 1394a or 1394b FireWire cameras to work correctly
on an IEEE 1394b adapter, or if you want to use a 1394b FireWire cam-
era with an IEEE 1394a adapter.
Or: use either the driver of the AVT Universal Package/
AVT FirePackage or install the driver provided with the AVT 1394 Bus
Driver Package. Both drivers replace the Microsoft OHCI IEEE 1394
driver, but the second is 100% compliant to the driver of Microsoft.
This means, applications using the MS1394 driver will continue to
work.
Windows Vista Full support Windows Vista incl. SP1/SP2
supports 1394b only with S400.
Use either the driver of the
AVT Universal Package/
AVT FirePackage or install the
driver provided with the
AVT 1394 Bus Driver Package.
Both drivers replace the Micro-
soft OHCI IEEE 1394 driver, but
the second is 100% compliant to
the driver of Microsoft. This
means, applications using the
MS1394 driver will continue to
work.
