    I need a firewire card in my laptop.
    I have an hp pavilion dv9500.
    Can anyone suggest a card that i can put into my laptop. Also, since this is a laptop, i have no experience messing with the inside of one. If possible, can you give me a link or tell me yourself how this process goes?


    *Edit*
    I just found this on the internet.

    can you guys tell me if this ebay thing will help me. It looks right to me but i would like some professional opinions.

    It is doubtful that you will be able to put one inside the laptop, but maybe you can get a card that slides into the slot, on the outside of the laptop.

    look at the link i have, it shows a firewire/usb adapter. Would that work for me?

    I have no clue, but I would think that there may be a problem with the captured video, if it does work. You can give it a shot.

    You need a regular firewire cable and card. Do not get the USB to Firewire.
