Hi everybody, I'm new to the PCA forums, I would like to know if anyone knows the pin out
of the IEEE 1394 bus connectors found on most of the Creative SB cards? I have a Creative
SB Audigy MP3+ and my case has a 1394 cable with 6 little connectors at the end (they are
TPA+, TPA-, TPB+, TPB-, VP, and VG.)to be connected to headers on mobo or in my case
the sound card IEEE 1394 for the front 1394 port on my case.

Any and all info regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

All I did was goto Creative's support site, chose the Audigy MP3+, and typed in firewire as the query.

My appologies Busby, it was you who got all of that info on the IEEE 1394 bus connector on
my SB Audigy MP3+ . I accidentally credited another member for what you did and I greatly
appreciated your help and I thank you.
