Usually the IEEE 1394 drivers come from the Windows disk. If these have been removed on the Beast edition you may need to find another "full" windows disk to get them off of. Otherwise you could always install a firewire pci or pcie card to use which should come with drivers.

Glad it worked out.
Does any FW expresscards work with audio interfaces, regardless of what laptop you have?
I haven't checked recently, but a while ago I got the impression that people was not having much luck with using those.
I would stay clear of using the 4-pin anyway, so unless there is a expresscard/FW/interface/laptop combo that is proven to work together I rather use an USB interface.
One would have thought there would be more audio expresscards available by now.

Judging by other threads ive read on the subject, it seems that somethings wrong with the Intel chipset. This means that even if you use an external FW card it will still not work as good as its supposed to. I dont think it has anything to do with 4 vs 6 pin fw.
Btw, The motu doesnt work properly either. I get lots of underruns, and cant run it with as little latency as I would want to, but atleast it doesnt glitch.
I want a new laptop

It's not only Dell suffering from these problems, believe me... As you probably read in other threads problems occur with lots of FW cards on different systems with different OS, settings, 4 pin 6 pin and asio4all isn't the big solution as some suggest. I think it's a pc (laptops in general, with unclear predictions weteher it will give problems or not) vs. FW problem. The mac users never have any problems with the same cards. Anyway, I'm not buying any FW card unless I've tested it on my laptop (and if possible multiple).

What I meant was for me it doesn't matter too much if I can get a FW card to run on the internal chipset or not since I would not like to use a 4-pin FW connection anyway.
So unless you get a laptop with 6-pin you would have to run it from a expresscard with 6-pin FW on it if you want a decent connection....and that seems to be a problem with all laptops still.
As far as I know the choice is then really between an older machine with PCMCIA, a MacBook, a USB interface or the apog€€ expresscard interface.

I run an m-audio 410 on my asus A8J laptop with an SIIG pc express 54 firewire 400/800 card. I haven't had any real problems with it. SIIG is a reputable manufacturer for usb/firewire cards in my experience.
A non-issue has cropped up recently, which I haven't had time or interest in troubleshooting. Something is conflicting on shutdown that wasn't before. If I do not turn off the M-Audio & SIIG card before I shutdown, the laptop hangs at the very end of the shutdown process. Hard shutdown seems to have no adverse effects at this point if I forget.
Keep The Faith,

I've been having major issues with an Nforce4 chipset with an AMD chip. The board I have has a couple PCI-E slots in it. I just ordered a card from SIIG which should arrive tommorrow. SIIG cards are posted up on multiple audio interface manufacturers websites (such as m-audio and presonus for example) as "the only recommended FW cards" to bypass problems with FW interfaces not functioning properly with a lot of onboard IEEE 1394 controllers.
So if you have to go with a card, go with SIIG.
I'll let you know tommorrow if it works out for me (even though it's a different setup than yours),
Good luck.

Sorry...it wont work.
It's the only serious expresscard interface I have seen, but now when I looked in to it more it seems like it's only for OSX.

If you read in the link i posted, youll see that alot of people have problems with the SIIG cards and Intel motherboards/Dell computers..
