Systems are crashing-I may need to start over. What would you do?

I have a Macbook Pro 10.4.11, using M-Powered Pro Tools and Firewire 1814 interface. All sorts of problems lately to where I basically can't use it anymore and I haven't gotten any answers that have fixed it on here (yet). So....thinking that inevitably I will need to rethink my setup and get some new gear, so looking for suggestions. I think a major issue in my setup has been that my laptop only has one firewire port. I used to daisy chain from the interface to the ext hard drive, then later I used a hub and it worked fine. Long story....ext hard drive crashed, bought new one, tried same set up, aint working anymore. So...suggestions? I think the obvious answer would be to upgrade computers to one that has multiple firewire ports, but not sure I have the cash to do that. Short of that, any suggestions? Interface, software, etc....thanks.
 
Ok, but it's a FW 400. Would that still work? What port does the expresscard go into? Sorry, this is where I get somewhat clueless.
