Question Firewire Question

My motherboard does not have any Firewire sockets, nor does it have any 'headers' to connect Firewire sockets to. Can I get a PCI card with Firewire sockets and a 'header' to connect to a socket on the front of my computer?

The system is as follows:-
ABIT VT7 motherboard
Celeron 2.4 Ghz. processor
512 Mb. memory
ABIT Radeon 9200SE-T AGP card
10Gb. internal h/drive + 120Gb. external h/drive
LG DVD/CD reader/writer

The reason for asking is that I have been offered an internal 8-in-one internal memory card reader/writer with a Firewire socket fitted which requires connecting to a Firewire 'header'. Seems a pity not to be able to use the Firewire part of it!

Thanks in advance.
