FRS recommends that you go online and buy 3 or 4 different FW cards and keep the one that works and send back the ones that don't work.

Amazon has the best prices. Look for cards with the PCIe interface. Texas Instruments chipset is preferred. You will need a 1394A firewire card. The VIA chipset does work for me. But, TI is considered the most reliable. Granite Firewire cables are the most reliable. They are also the most expensive.
Tim has a couple of good instructional pages on the Flex Radio website. Once you get the basic version of PowerSDR installed, go to KE9NS's website and download his version of PowerSDR. It has many improvements over the original version of PowerSDR.

Thank you very much for helping. I've seen tons of listings on Amazon and I'm totally confused. Can you give me an Amazon link to order a suitable firewire compatible card? Thank you very much for helping. 73 de IT9IDR Salvo

Before you start , regardless which card you buy :
Beware that you will **** your Flex when plugging the connector REVERSE . This can happen quite easy with some of the cards.
It can be repaired, but a high cost.. about 400$ here in Germany currently
There is a hint to modify the cable by cutting 2 power wires . Google for this and do that before you start.
Find hints on good cards on the ke9ns powersdr website.
i hope you will have as much fun as we all do with the BEST SDR Software you can imagine..
