5.) 1394 Mojo-SDI configuration requirements (slot #1 requirement)
1394 Mojo-SDI must connect via specific add-in 1394b PCI-Express Firewire cards (with 8K buffers) which must be
installed in Slot #1. The Z800 embedded 1394 port cannot be used for connectivity to 1394 Mojo-SDI.
Current qualified PCI-Express 1394b Firewire cards are:
