Hi,

I would think pretty much anything will be fine with it. Just be aware that FireWire B doesn't really work properly with Windows and often speeds will drop down to slightly less than FireWire A. I reckon you can get a PCIe card with FireWire A ports for about £15-£25. FireWire B expansion cards are less common and usually more expensive but like I say you won't see the benefit of the higher speed on a PC.
