I would recommend this 1394A PCIE 4-Ports FireWire Card. It has been a life saver... OK maybe more of a family memory saver. We had no problems installing on a Dell desktop machine running Windows 10. It took a little bit to find and install a version of software that would work with our really old Canon Mini-DV. Once the card and software were installed, we were able to connect the video recorder and convert old tapes to digital media. All the software controls were able to operate the camera through the card and the data quality seems to be fine.There are services available to convert old tapes to digital media. If you have a bunch of media to convert from devices that use 1394A cables, then this FireWire card is the way to go. It will pay for itself in very short order!

This card is built around the VIA VT6315 Firewire chip, which was introduced about 15 years ago and has been in "Legacy" status since at least 2021. It is still new enough to incorporate a native-PCIe controller, so it doesn't need a PCI-to-PCIe bridge chip onboard. That should theoretically provide slightly better latency, although for Firewire400 that isn't much of a concern compared to newer higher-speed interfaces. From what is shown in W10 Device Manager (and what the VIA datasheet retrieved online says), it is OHCI compliant so should work with default drivers going back to WinXP (and probably patched 98 or 98SE as well, though I don't have a PCIe 98SE system to try it with, and those are pretty uncommon anyway). Sequential read speeds from an external bus-powered drive are consistently about 42MB/s, and I haven't experienced any drop outs or flaky connections. That drive contains an SSD with DRAM and also has FW800 1394B ports, so that speed test should be representative of where this card will max out. That was with the internal aux power plug connected to the PSU.
