Connecting Firepod to PC

[lurgan liar]

OK i am building a DAW and am going to buy the Firepod ...

However I have just checked the Motherboard that I have bought and it doesn't have a firewire port on it .... there are however 3 PCI expansion slots on the motherboard....

So what Exactly do I need to Buy to be able to connect the Firepod to my PC ... A Firewire Card that connects to one of these PCI slots?

Thanks in advance

yes, thats exactly what you need.
I had the same conflict when i got my firepod, and I went to a local computer store and bought one. i found this by quickly searching online, but im sure you could find one cheaper somewhere: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=467976

I got one from newgg.com for 9.99. Works great.

Get one with a TI chipset.
