With SP2 / SP3 the default speed for 1394b is S100 (100 Mbit/s). A
download and registry modification is available from Microsoft to
restore performance to either S400 or S800.

Alternatively use the drivers of SP1 instead.
We strongly recommend to install AVT FirePackage
, which replaces
the Microsoft driver. (See
AVT FirePackage User Guide
for details.)
Windows Vista
Full support from beginning
Vista incl. SP1/SP2 supports
1394b only with S400.
Use either the driver of the
AVT
Universal Package
or install the
driver provided with the
AVT
1394 Bus Driver Package
. Both
drivers replace the Microsoft
OHCI IEEE 1394 driver, but the
second is 100% compliant to the
driver of Microsoft. This means,
applications using the MS1394
driver will continue to work.
