OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-0034
Microsoft Windows 11

First I am not a gamer. I do high end amateur video editing.

 

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
My system: Product # 4NN43AA#ABA
Omen by HP Obelisk Desktop PC - 875-0034
Motherboard: Version 00 Edoras SSid: 84FD
Chipset: H370
500 Watt power supply

This is the M.2 A/E to PCIe adapter I ended up buying as per a moderator here on HP's forum:

This is my Eliator Firewire Card:

https://www.amazon.com/ELIATER-Firewire-Windows-Express-Controller/dp/B07N2WQZTS/ref=sr_1_4?crid=TM9...

 

Using the Firewire Card I am able to Video capture directly from my Canon XHA1 camera using a 4 pin to 4 pin firewire.
It works and shows up with NO problems in Device manager, but I own a Focus Enhancements Firestore FS-4 Pro DTE for
capturing video to digital. (my older camera is tape only but has a firewire port).

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/734696/Focus-Fs-4.html

When plugging the 4 or 6 pin firewire cable from the FS-4 to the 4 pin port on the 1394 firewire card and click enable
the FS-4 says "success", but I get No drive letter in Windows Explorer and it does not show up in Disk Management.

I tried looking in UEFI Bios under System Diagnostic>Hardware Diagnostics>Hard drive Check>Select Hard Drive and the
following shows up 1: ATA 4000GB St4000N001 2: ATA 2000GB ST2000DM006 3: NVME 1000GB GB Fore MP600 (these are my 2 HHD's and My NVMe that windows 11 is installed on), but nothing about the Focus Enhancements FS-4 firewire DTE Drive. I own a Hp 6710b laptop (windows 7) that has a firewire port built in. When I plug the FS-4 drive in, it dings and a
Drive letter pops up immediately. I previously had an Asus desktop with Windows 10 running on it with this same Eliater
1394 firewire card plugged directly into the motherboard. When I plugged in the FS-4 drive to the firewire port it would
ding and immediately pop up a drive letter. I should note that the drive in the FS-4 is IDE not SATA in fact years ago
I converted it to SSD see long video:

To power the adapter in the Omen 875-0034 I used the (4) LC pump pins on the top of the Version 00 Edoras SSid: 84FD
mother board. I had to re-pin the FFD cable so the 3.5 volt, the 12 volt, and the ground would match the Adapter. I
have No idea why I CAN video capture, but not get a drive letter (even though the FS-4 say success when enabled? If it
were the adapter you would think I would not be able to video capture. Is it an IDE thing with windows 11? Is there
somewhere else in the BIOS I can look for and enable the Drive? Any Ideas? I tried contacting Sintech in China but got No response. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help
