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.

Yes Firewire PCI cards are available for about £20.
I fried a Pinnacle Firewire capture card earlier this year and replaced it with a PCI card. 3 slots on the rear and 1 inside the case for plugging in a front-of-case firewire slot.

Compass Call,
Something like this is what you are looking for:
Or just an internal header like:

P.S. unclenelli, it looks like our posts crossed. I guess we were thinking alike.

Thank you for your prompt responses. Now I know just what I need.
Naples, You never cease to amaze me with your access to photos of equiptment. You must have a vast library of pictures, regularly updated to be able to come up with such quick replies. Your computer knowledge is also second - to - none

Compass Call,
Actually, I just go to photos of hardware for sale.
There is a great E-Tailer called:
New Egg
If you right click on the pictures I linked and select Properties, you will see most of the Pix I post are from there.
The only trick is knowing where to look for the hardware people are looking for.
Take Care,
Richard
