Hello;
(I'm using an HP Z220 SFF Workstation, using Window 10)
I went through a lot of trial and error with help from a generous microsoft guy here, to figure out how to get drivers for a Syba SD-PEX30009 firewire port card that I recently installed; what we think finally worked was installing a Unibrain driver; it does show up in my device manager as 'working properly,' etc.
However, the 2 camcorders that I have to try to use with the new port are both older, one a Canon, the other a Samsung. They are both recognized by my computer, but both come up in device manager as having 'no compatible drivers,' and when I 'update drivers,' they both say 'windows couldn't find drivers for this device.' I've even spoken with someone at Canon, and there are definitely no available drivers for that camcorder - they no longer support that machine.
I'm working on alternative 'workarounds;' but, after all the trouble and time, I'd like to go ahead and keep the firewire port installed if it is in fact working; But I'm not really sure if it is, since I haven't had any luck yet with making a camcorder plugged into it work. And if it isn't working correctly, I'd like to return it soon for the $35!
Does anyone here know of a way that I can tell for sure if the firewire port I've now installed with the Unibrain drivers really IS set up correctly and CAN work with a good camera or other DV device, even tho I don't have an apparently working camcorder now to try it out with? Could a 'non correctly working port' show up as 'working properly' in device manager and actually be preventing a possibly working camcorder from functioning correctly in this situation?
Thanks a lot for any help.
