Genesys FireWire Driver
NB:
If you have purchased the cards at the same time as the console, this
driver will already be installed, in which case please skip this section.
Installing the driver manually should not be required if you have Genesys
software Version 3.3 Build 7 or above. The following Auto-Install
FireWire USB-Serial Driver sub-section should be all that is needed. If
after several attempts the driver fails to install then it can be manually
downloaded and installed by following the instructions in sub-section
Manual FireWire USB-Serial Driver Installation.
