From: William R. Walsh on 3 Sep 2009 13:30 Hello all... I have an Asus M2A-VM (non-HDMI version) that I'm building into a complete computer system. One of the things that I'll be doing with the completed system is some lightweight to medium duty video editing. As such, I opted to put a Firewire card into one of the expansion slots. And while doing that, I noticed that there are solder pads on the board for a Firewire port and a 1394 controller. What I'm wondering--did Asus ever make a version of the M2A-VM board with the Firewire stuff present? I've done some searching and come up empty, so I thought I'd ask here. William

Hi! > Compare your M2A-VM to the M2A-VM HDMI, and there is Firewire > on the latter. Aha! Thank you, that explains it perfectly. I didn't see the need to buy the HDMI version of the board at the time, as I don't have anything that can accept or use HDMI input. William |
