Unfortunately
the marketplace has substantially changed since my last

(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?
