to use a Firewire expansion card in the Thinkpad's slot.
I called the company, that has the Thinkpad X61s for sale. He couldn't
say anything about the firewire chip (and google didn't know), but my
gut feeling tells me it's gonna work, otherwise I have 2 weeks to return
it if there's any problems...
Sounds like something to go for.
