Hrm, this is problematic. I'd just about settled down to the idea of
either the Presonus Firepod of the Edirol FA-66, but if there's no way

USB. I had a lot of trouble with a tascam US428 a couple years back,
so I'd like to stick with something that doesn't require so much
tweaking and a custom module (unless that's changed recently), so I
guess it's back to the search. I guess the Edirol UA-25 is still high
in the running.

to use a firewire card because I want something that's bus-powered,
but this laptop only has a 4-pin firewire. I'm leaning perhaps to the...
Note that there might be exceptions, but:
PCMCIA or Cardbus adapters are also unable to provide bus power,
notwithstanding the fact that they do have 6-pin adapters. The
PCMCIA/cardbus bus doesn't provide the power needed for the FireWire
bus, so these adapters can't provide it.
