In general, Duende should work with most FW chipsets and PCI FW host controller cards.
We have only encountered issues with a very limited number of FW host controller cards.

These are the firewire cards and chips that we have tested and can recommend for use with Duende on a PC

Tested Firewire host controllers:

- Dell AFW-2100 (agere L-FW323-06) (comes standard with many DELL machines)
- Belkin 3-port firewire card F5U503;
- SIIG Firewire 2-port PCIe featuring Texas Instruments XIO2200 chip
- DAWI Control DC-FW800 PCI Firewire 800 Controller (When using Windows SP2, please make sure you have the FW800 hotfix installed)
- Adaptec Fireconnect 4300
- Adaptec Fireconnect 8300
