    You must have a spare pci port, just wack a firewire pci card in, very cheap, plug and play, easy install. Best route to go,

    Dont forget, you need a firewire cable as well, if not already got one.

    Make sure that you pick the appropriate number of pins on the card and/or cable that you purchase. There is 4, 6, and 9-pin. More than likely, you will need 4 or 6-pin... NewEgg has a good selection...
