OT: 4 pin FireWire Card work with Vegas?

Dealnews has a link to a 4-pin FireWire PCI card for $7.50 including shipping.

Any reason why this card wouldn't work to capture video using Vegas?

I know my laptop only has a 4-pin connection and I can capture fine with it, so that would seem to indicate that the card would work .....

The six pin connector uses two pins to power a firewire device. Since most cameras have four pins and don't need that power, it should work. But you can find a standard 6 pin firewire card for under $20 also.
