Please help, I don't have a slot, but only 3.0 usb. I'm trying to connect my digidesign 003 firewire (from USB to firewire. I bought the adapter but it does not work. Is there an external system? my old cpu had a pci slot. This is the fastest dell, brand new but no slot. Thanks man.

@tguitar1957

I understand your predicament, is this a brand new laptop or  desktop?

If it is laptop it would be impossible because there's no expansion system that would connect to laptop via USB port. But if you have a desktop computer you can use the 1slot expansion system to house your firwire and connect the expansion system to desktop computer using a PCI host card that plugs into a pci slot of a motherboard

If the laptop has an expresscard slot, you don't need to use an expresscard adapter to hook up the expansion unit to it. If the laptop has a pcmcia slot you can still hook up the expansion unit by using a cardbus card. All you need is to swap the expresscard with the Magma cardbus card.

Is it possible to perform with a Expresscard 34?

[jelarzhel]

@HandphoneCharger

Yes, you can subtitute the pcmcia card with expresscard34. But you have to use the ec34 made by Magma. If you use a non Magma expresscard34 it is not going to work.

Hi, nice little video for people with this problem. My problem is that my motherboard on my desktop doesn't have a firewire port so I'm looking for alternatives. Using this method would it be plasuable to do this but use an ide connector or an alternate way of connecting said expansion ? Any help is appreciated =]

Is there any depreciation in speed or quality since u r going through the express card slot?

[version2media]

hooking this up to my laptop, i can run live video feed off a minid dv camcorder thru firewire?

[Prs4ever111]

I just bought a firewire audio interface, but i have no fire wire inputs. What would i need to do?

[breakwellpicturez]

What a pain in the ass. Why don't they just install the damn things in laptops??
