    Hi,


    I'm trying to figure out if Clevo's computers are suitable for pro audio production, but nowhere around the web can find information about
    which chipset it's used for firewire, ( that's a very important issue for video and
    audio production)

    Thanks a lot for your input,

    I believe that the current Clevo's [as well as the past] had:
    - Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Controller

    that's indeed good news, cause TI it's the most compatible one
    with all external audio/video interfaces


    thanks!!

    I know, TI has great compatibility.

    I have used a M-Audio Firewire 1814 with my notebook. :)

    Had to used 4-pin IEEE and DC power. Works perfect.
