Installing Firewire card
Installing Firewire card
(OP)
I am attempting to install an IEEE 1394 Firewire card (Sequoia Advanced Technologies Inc). I am running Win98 SE on a PC
with 1Gz Athlone CPU with 256Mb RAM
I put the card in one of the PCI slots and booted up.
The card was correctly recognised and the installation
wizard kicked in.I followed the routine instructions
but on re=booting there was a question mark on the
Firewire card in device manager saying error code 10, card
not working properly or does not have all the drivers installed.
Try upgrading the drivers. Tried that to no avail. Please
could some kind person guide me to a solution.

As an alternative, you could change driver when you get the driver error. Point to the floppy as the source.
Suspect that the floppy has drivers for several cards using the interface and that the ex-sequoia means except sequoia.
Hate to answer for Bilko, but there is no guarantee when he will be on again.

If sequoia had written an install or setup executable you could have gone that way but since they didn't you are locked in to the wizard.
If you were to delete via device mangler, then reinstall, pointing to the floppy, the *.inf file should point to the correct file to load.
And be aware that there are problems with the uninstaller. Has been, and probably will be forever. It leaves things dangling by not clearing everything out.

Even though you have to use the wizard, you don't have to let it search for the best driver. You can select the device type from the list, then tell it where the drivers are, in this case it would be a:

Most USB devices require you to install drivers prior to installing the actual USB device. Many 1394 devices work similarly, including interface cards.
In your Windows directory is an INF directory, and within that directory will either be a subdirectory with a copy of the file from that install floppy or it'll be in the main inf dir. In either case, delete it.
Go into the Device Mangler (Winkey+Pause), and remove the device.
Now reboot. This should totally clear it from the machine.
Check your directions before beginning - you may need drivers in place BEFORE inserting the card.
