    Hi

    Ive just got myself a zepto 6324 for music production. When i use the built in 4 pin firewire (ti chipset) my saffire LE works like a charm. But when i try to use it with my Belkin 6 pins firewire expresscard, the soundcard wont "boot up" or takes like 30 mins to start... I gues its a driver issue, but i dont know what to do.

    I have tried to disable the built in firewire, as well as my network card and reinstalled windows xp/home/pro and drivers many times :(

    plz help, tnx

    I've used an eSATA ExpressCard adaptor in my 6024W without problems.

    I'm not sure whether the ExpressCard works through the chipset or some other hardware, such sharing an interface chip with the Firewire or Media card reader, so you could try the latest Zepto drivers for those.
