Unfortunately the
marketplace has substantially changed since my last search and in this
period it seems that both firewire (400+800) and pc expansion ports
have been for the most part eradicated. As an owner and constant user
of a half decent firewire interface (fa-101), and with a rather
constrained budget, i would hate to have to ditch it.
I think you can still get laptops (e.g. ThinkPads) with ExpressCard[1]
slots... and that there are also Firewire/ExpressCard interfaces. Have
you checked in to those?
