I have an Alchemy PC Card with 2 Firewire 800 slots and one Firewire  
400 slot that I use in my old Ti 400 Mhz to hook to my Mercury Elite  
FW RAID setup.  Works fine.  I also use that same card in my Al Book  
1.67 Ghz, and while I've never actually benchmarked it, it seems  
faster than the built-in FW 800 port on the Al Book.

I don't know about the OWC card, but I plugged the Alchemy card in to  
the card slot and it "just worked".
