Hackintosh Firewire card

I got a G-RAID2 enclosure for $30 at a local computer shop, so score there. It has Firewire 400, Firewire 800 and USB 2.0 hookups and I would prefer to use Firewire 800 but my board doesn't have that. So, I need a firewire card for my hack. Would prefer PCIe, but if anyone knows a definite winner for PCI then I will take that. Price range is less than $40.
 
I have a TI chipset PCI FW card I got from Geeks.com or something in 2002 for like $6. Seems to work fine right out of the box. Or bulk pacakging, as the case may be. Wish it had an internal connector though, as my case does, but my mobo doesn't have a header for it. It's aite though, since I don't have a video camera or anything else I'd need to connect and reconnect, and the two things I do have (external enclosure and Miglia HarmonyAudio) have ports for daisy chaining.
