firewire

I wasnt sure where to post this so I posted it in here ...

I have a laptop with only 3 usb ports and I want a firewire port for my dv camera , so I can do a little editing on the filiming. But it being a laptop i cant buy the pci card for it correct. So is there a firewire hub where I plug it into the usb and it works?

No. The bandwidth of a USB port would throttle the bandwidth that Firewire allows, hence negating any possible advantage of attempting to design such a wacky product.

I assume the laptop has PCMCIA slots. Get a PCMCIA firewire interface. Check ebay. They're very affordable.
