Laptop Firewire PCMCIA card?

Postby Gerry » Thu Apr 05, 2007 9:55 am

I have a laptop that doesn't have a built-in Firewire jack. I recently saw a "converter" card for Firewire card that plugs into a PCMCIA slot (is that what they're called? It's the slots that modems and network cards and wireless cards plugged into before they were all built-in).

Will this "converter card" really work to capture video?
Dell XPS 8500 desktop w/ Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.4ghz / 22 gigs RAM / Radeon HD7570 1g dedicated video memory/ PrEl 11 & 9 / Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 / After Effects CS4 / Olympus OM-D E-M5 DSLR (1080i HD video)

Time is money, life is change.

Sure it will :)
It is an actual Firewire Card, not a converter.

As long as all the other components are up to it you should be fine ;)
Be sure that the processor, RAM and hard drive can handle it.
