Orange Micro iBot 1394 Webcam works in Vista64

Just for kicks, I decided to plug in my old Orange Micro iBot webcam. It had been a good webcam, but when I stopped using Creative Labs soundcards several years ago, I lost my only firewire port. My new motherboard has 1394 support built in, but since Orange Micro went out of business a few years ago, I figured there was no way it would work. To my shock, Vista64 immediately recognized it and found drivers for it. It works as well as it ever did in Windows XP, with full 30 FPS capabilities and fluid video. If anyone else happens to have one of these things laying around, it'll still work.
