Laptops and firewire....

[swatch60]

Does anyone know of a good PCMCIA firewire card for laptops? I'm running WinXP and the idea of getting an iPod to work with my computer via XPlay has me excited :D

Any help is appreciated!

Anyone?

well no good suggestion but i recommend that you get a brand name pcmcia firewire card, u'll might get support from XP.

i believe that pinnicle makes a version...you can pick it up at CompUSA for sure. i think it goes for about $99 (last time i checked). it should be labeled as a digital video adaptor...rather than a firewire card.

Adaptec has a 3-port card:

Found it at Microwarehouse for about $99

Personally never used it though

Good luck,
