UMAX Astra 6450 vs. Microsoft XP Home.......2002-01-22

Purchased 6450 in June, tested briefly with Microsoft ME. Upgraded to XP Home in January but during installation discovered products are not compatible. I get no help or encouragement from either UMAX or Miscrosoft.

Astra 6450.......2001-02-20

I really like the fire wire cappabilities. Although Umax says the PCI card that comes with it is for PC's only, if you get the firewire 2.5 drivers from Apple the card works flawlessly!!!! On top of that, It's really fast! :) The thing I don't like is the fact that it is a little difficult to get the transparency adapter to work perfectly... All in all a very awsome machine! I actually give it 4 1/2 stars.
