Default my laptop has no firewire input :{

iv been wrapping my brains around thinking aobut how to get my laptop to read my Maudio ProjectMix I/O.

i stupidly seen a good deal for the ADVENT 9415, it has 2gb ram and 120HDD. the problem is it only has 4 USB ports, vga out, SD card reader, audio in and out, CD drive, LAN port, and power supply.

can i get an adopter that will read a firewire..wire through usb or something?

im all out of ideas and i gota make do with what i have

You've got three options:

Option 1 is a Ethernet to USB/Firewire adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16899888405

Option 2 is a PCMCIA card (if your computer still has one...) that gives you 2 USB, 1 Firewire 6-pin and 1 Firewire 4-pin adapter:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815124013
or this PCMCIA that just has 2 Firewire 6-pin:

another 2 6-pin Firewire option:

If none of these options are all that appealing, this is the search that I used through Newegg, there should be more available in those pages:

Option 3 is a hub with 4 USB and 3 Firewire ports that are routed through a USB port:
