Review: Works on HP Zbook 15 G2 - I first tried the newer StarTech version of this card with the Motorola chipset. That did not work. I sent it back and got this older legacy version and it works just fine. As I write this, I'm capturing video from my Sonny HVR -AIN using Vegas Pro 15. Thank God for that. This HP has a nasty reputation for not working well with expresscards.
Review: Excellent product, just slide the card into the expansion ... - Excellent product, just slide the card into the expansion port slot, wait a few minutes,and computer recognizes it just like USB ports. Keep in mind that the express cards are not designed to go with the laptop and being carrying around, when you're done, eject like a USB and push the card in, and it will come right out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My PC did recognized the card fine, but did not recognize my Canon camcorder
*by M***E on February 8, 2016*

This card came with a 1394 4-pin to 1394a 6-pin cord. My PC did recognized the card fine, but did not recognize my Canon camcorder. I asked startech what the problem was, and they got back to me quickly that it was the cord! Seemed weird, but ok, I ordered a Canon-specific cord and voila! It worked great. My guess is that startech knows the cords they send with the card are bad, to have gotten it fixed so quickly. That's a disappointment, but their customer service was quick, excellent in clarity, and effective. And the canon cord was $8 including shipping. So expect to get a cord specific to your camcorder, and toss the one that comes with the card.
