    Hi Notebookreviewers :),

    I just bought an extra Mini-PCI Firewire Card for my Clevo Notebook, but I found, that the pins in the Mini-PCI Firewire Card have other colors than the colors of a standard Firewire Cable,
    My question is: Which colors from the Mini-PCI card equal the Colors from a normal Firewire cable? (or how it the Pinout?)

    Normal colors from a Firewire cable:
    1 White 2 Black 3 Orange 4 Blue 5 Red 6 Green
    equals: 1 Power 2 Ground 3TPB- 4 TPB+ 5TPA- 6 TPA+

    Colors from the Mini-PCI Card I bought:
    1 Blue 2 Green 3 Yellow 4 Orange 5 Red 6 Brown 7 Black
    equals: ?????


    Here are 2 fotos from the Mini-PCI Card:
