The StarTech IEEE 1394 3-port Mini PCIe FireWire adapter slots into a mini PCIe slot, and supplies two FireWire 800 ports, and a single FireWire 400.

User `@RobertMCortese` built [Open MRU](https://www.reddit.com/r/tapeless/comments/1n3aqsk/comment/nbc8f4g/), a Raspberry Pi 5-based FireWire camera capture device, using this card and a [GeeekPi PCIe to Mini PCIe HAT](https://amzn.to/47U0vFj).

Inside `/boot/firmware/config.txt`, he added:

18+
```
19+
dtparam=pciex1
20+
dtoverlay=pcie-32bit-dma
21+
```

And it seems to work! He recorded footage using [DVgrab](https://linux.die.net/man/1/dvgrab), and uploaded it to a few threads on Reddit. As someone who owns a working Canon GL2 (which is similar to the GL1 and XL1 I used for my earliest YouTube videos), I am very interested in replicating this setup, so I've ordered the hardware as well :)
