    Hi there,

    I recently bought myself a VAIO BZ12VN for audio reasons. First thing I did was chuck out the existing harddrive (5400rpm) with Vista and replace it with a 7200rpm drive (Seagate Momentus) and use the accompanying recovery disk to install XP. All is fine and dandy, all hardware is recognised and I have no driver issues. However, what bugs me a little is that the IEEE1394 device is showing: OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller and I expected to see the brand (Texas Instruments) mentioned in there. I specifically bought this laptop in the assumption that it has a dedicated TI IEEE1394 chipset.
    Hence my question, does anyone know if there's a dedicated TI driver out there? I've googled my *** off and found nothing. I'm assuming it is actually a TI chipset (can anyone confirm ?) and that the installed driver will do, however not seeing TI mentioned in there bugs me a little.

    Cheers,

    Nerve.

    I think that you do not need specific drivers for iee1394. There must be in windows driver folder. Look in C:/WINDOWS/inf and try to install your driver by showing this path.
