Windows 10: IEEE 1394 Laptop Instal

I have a MSI PE70 6QE and i've been trying to instal the IEEE 1394 legacy driver but it simply wont show on the device manager. The instalation also seem too quick, dunno if its related. It takes literaly half a second then it stops.

:)

 

Is Firewire IEEE 1394 still supported by Windows 10 ?


My old Sony DCR-TRV460 camcorder worked when connecting a Firewire (ieee 1394) cable onto my old HP Pavilion media center M8417C computer, which has a 6-pin 1394 port (probably 1394A) at the front and at the back of the computer and Win10 has built-in Firewire drivers for them.

btw, the IEEE 1394 chipset used on the HP computer is "LSI 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller" listed in Device Manager

be sure to buy the proper IEEE 1394 cable and the PCI/PCIe 1394 expansion card for PCs/boards that don't have a 1394 connector & ports.

 

After Windows 10 upgrade IEEE 1394 (firewire) gone

Hi!

I have followed the steps above with downloading the KB2970191 driver.

After that I right clicked and choose install on the Leagacy driver inf file.

I then open the device manager in the control panel to find the IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers.

But nothing has happened. The driver is not there, and it does not even mention IEEE 1394.

I have restarted my computer but still nothing has changed.

I have windows 10 home and I'm trying to get my Focusrite soundcard to work.

What should I do?

 

IEEE 1394 Front I/O Port

I am putting together a new build using a Gigabyte GZ-X4 case, the front I/O port has two audio connectors, two USB connectors, and a knockout tab for IEEE 1394. The IEEE 1394 was an option that is no longer available from Gigabyte. Where can I get a six pin 1394 by motherboard connection at the other end to fill in the knockout space so I can have a front available IEEE 1394 port? All I have come close to is 1394 extension type cables, help!
