Joel New laptops are available with firewire capability. Apple MacBooks have had the faster firewire 800 for as long as I can remember. They now use the blisteringly fast thunderbolt port. Then from the Apple Store buy the Thunderbolt >Firewire 400 adapter cable for $ 30. I have current model MacMini’s, MacBook Pro’s and iMacs that all run from the Thunderbolt port via the adapter cable to my Flex-5000 and my Flex-3000. PSDR is installed on a separate partition using Bootcamp and Windows 7.
Runs really smoothly, most of my Mac’s run at less than 7 % CPU with PSDR and with lots of other apps running in the background New…at your local Apple store 73 John, ZS5J On 15 Jan 2016, at 8:26 AM, Joel Baldwin <qumq...@outel.org> wrote: How are you doing firewire ( 1394 ) on the new laptop? I'd like to be proven wrong, but last time I looked new laptops were no longer coming with firewire ports or a PCcard/ExpressCard slot to add a controller. What is this new laptop?
