I have been using exclusively the SIIG 1394 boards because they are
basically they same as the Pyro (typical TI-based design), but it's always a
few dollars cheaper. They are quite inexpensive at buy.com ($48); however, I
just checked their site again and the Pyro Basic DV is only $43 and in stock
Arne is in germany, and surely uses one that's more popular and available to
his market. These ADS and SIIG boards are "big enough name." It's the
chipset and manufacturing process that matters, but both of these as well as
many others use the venerable TI chips.
