Where to get motherboard 1394 cable? (FIC P4-865PE motherboard)

I'm scratching me head over this one, and not really sure what to do.

I've got machine with a FIC P4-865PE motherboard, which I've been using for
a couple of years. I've now got need to use the 1394 (firewire) ports on
this motherboard, but I cant find the original 1394 cable that came with it
for connecting to the motherboard header pins. Where could I get a
replacement for something like this?

Unfortunatly I cant add PCI firewire card to this PC since its a home
theatre PC that only has one PCI slot (already in use).

Any ideas?

 

depends on what is in the slot.....maybe a multi-function card....

trying to get a addon off a manufacturer is going to be impossible IMHO.

Maybe goign to DSE and looking at a generic backplate that has firewire
might work....

Or a 5.25inch bay unit with firewire....

Unfortunately as I said above, this machine has only got one PCI slot and
its already in use (Hauppauge PVR500 dual tuner tv capture card).

 

I may have several at work but cannot check until Monday.

Happy to send one down at no cost if I can find one.....

I'd look for the pinout for the mobo header and get a firewire plug from a
PC recycler and adapt the header. Does your case have a firewire interface?
If not you may have to leave the f/w socket dangling.

Try own of the alt.com.periphs.mainboard news groups to see if anyone there
knows the pinouts.

HTH & BOL with MCE.

 

That would be awesome if possible. Let me know.

 

if in Christchurch I can give you one for free (we have a bucket full at
work - may have a different pinout) pinout can be matched for $10 (it'd
mean me downloading the manuals for your board and the one mine belonged to
(Epia brand Via based mimi ITX) and comparing pinouts and adjusting) no
guarrantees I'll ge it right.

comes as a pair bolted to a slot cover.

I just compared the pin outs from an online Epia M10000 manual to that from
my FIC P4-865PE manual. Conveniently they have the same pin out. I'm not in
Christchurch, but I'm happy to send you $20 if you could send one up to me
in Wellington.

If you can help me out, you can send me a message at hondo at paradise dot
net dot nz. Cheers.

 

Hey Sub,
I found one at work. It's a single port only though.

Happy to post to you at no cost and include a well overdue donation to
the GBPVR fund. (Bigted on GBPVR forums)

Remove the obvious from my email address to get me.
