    Can't fit firewire card into PCI slot

    There's a short section and a long section on the slot but the short section on the card appears to have too many pins to fit. The mounting plate is definitely bent but I loosened the screws and that allows alignment.

    The card is an Adaptec FireConnect 4300 PCI card and I don't see anything special about it. Are there different kinds of slots?

    Thanks - rev

    Is it this one:

    If yes, chances are your new motherboard does not have a PCI slot.

    You might need something like this:
