I have a System76 laptop. There's no Expresscard

On their current baseline "Lemur" model I see
Expansion: USB 3.1 Type-C, USB 3.0 Type-A, USB 2.0 Type-A, SD Card Reader
That's sort-of "ugh" for connecting Firewire devices. Concerning the
bandwidth, I think you'd need USB 3 (USB 2.0 nominally has 480mbps over
Firewire's 400mbps but reserves less for synchronous transfers and there
are other problems IIRC).
I don't know about reliable adapters, but I haven't looked.
