Firewire help

[Phoenix_Crush]

I have a Dell laptop. I want to get a Presonus Firepod. To do this, I would need an expresscard with a firewire port. what is a cheap card that I can use? I found one on Amazon, but this forum refuses to let me post links.

I know very little about this kind of stuff so forgive me if I left out any important information.

Be careful. Buy cheap/buy trouble.

Audio interfaces (generally) are sensitive to the chips used in firewire cards.
You ONLY want a Texas Instruments chipset.

Belkin and SIIG make known good Texas Instuments chip'ed expresscards for reasonable prices. Try newegg.com too.
