pcmcia firewire card issue with Edirol FA-101

[fooshkee8]

So I got my Edirol Fa-101 today and was trying to set up with my new Dell Inspirion 8600 laptop... and my dell only came with a 4 pin firewire so i purchased a nice belkin PCMCIA firewire card with 6 pins... now all my research had lead me to believe that the fa-101 could be bus powered off of a 6pin firewire... but unless i'm totally stupid, i really can't get it to work bus powered... is it only bus powered off a built in 6 pin firewire, and not a pcmcia firewire card? if anyone could shed some light on this i'd appreciate it... if i can't power it off a pcmcia firewire card it is going straight back to musicians friend tomorrow before i leave town.... thanks

Hey, I've seen this post before.
One unwritten rule on this board is to post a question just once, in the appropriate forum. Thanks.
My reply is in the other thread.
Have a nice stay.
