All FireWire controllers use the same driver interface (OHCI), and that
driver ships with Windows.
If there is a problem, it is with the PC Card controller driver.
So I thought, maybe a Firewire<->USB adaptor
would work.
These are completely different protocols; they cannot be mapped to each
other.
I see Amazon has a selection:
Firewire to USB

These do not work (see the reviews) unless your computer also has
a FireWire controller that is connected to the USB jack.
Unfair: There's an Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire
Adapter!
Thunderbolt is just a PCIe bus.
