Yes it does.What gets me is that the H170 manual says NOT to connect the 1394 to USB to keep from frying the board.I think you said that the 1394 was hooked to USB? I dunno.....I am new at this 2016 hardware crap.

I apologies the 1394 port is for firewire which has been pretty much phased out so you can just keep that unplugged.

Whew....thx...I looked it up online and I have never used firewire so I am pretty much in the dark about it.I am really basic......graphics and sound and hard drive space...that's usually all I mess with.A little RAM here an' there.Thx for all your help.
