hello, i have just bought an m-audio pro-fire 2626, im an idiot and though my new laptop (HP G60-635DX) had a firewire port... well i go to plug in my profire and what do you know, no firewire port. if someone could tell me a simple solution such as a converter to fix this that would be great, but as i researched the only way to do it by getting a firewire card installed in your laptop.

Im a desktop guy i don't know much about laptops ( i know its kind of lame for recording to have a laptop but i won it for free and its actually really nice!)
but anyway, anyone who knows how to solve this or what converter,adapter,card to buy let me know! thank you for reading!!

I have had a look at the laptop specs and also looked for adaptors, I don't think there is a way to do this with the model laptop you have.

Can you take the m-audio back and swap it for a USB device?
