Tomm Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Are you SURE it doesn't have Firewire? Not even a mini one? That sems odd to me. Even 3 years ago nearly all laptops had firewire. If not then you can definitely get Firewire PCMCIA cards which should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Pc world will sort you out with a laptop firewire kit for around £30. Has the card, cable and all the other neccesaries :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Can you get an external kit which like plugs into USB and then has a firewire attached too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Can you get an external kit which like plugs into USB and then has a firewire attached too? Doubt it. But like I said you will be able to get a PCMCIA card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Can you get an external kit which like plugs into USB and then has a firewire attached too? Yeah, it's more expensive and pointless as it can still only transfer at USB rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
