Need some help here...I just got the firepod and boo hoo...checking my laptop, what I had assumed (yea assumed is actually a four letter word) was firewire is actually USB....am i screwed here? what do I need to do?

No you can buy firewire cards.

Get a firewire PCMCIA card. No problemo, assuming you have an available slot.

The one limitation of those cards is that they don't provide the kind of power demanded by the firewire spec.

thanks all, does that mean that a pcmcia card will not work properly with my firepod?

Since the firepod doesn't seem to use firewire for power (the web site says it has an external power supply), it should work fine.

yes the firepod has its own power...thanks again I'll be at the comp use tomorrow...
