I did some research about new laptops, and its far easier to find
laptops with expresscard ports than laptops with fw ports.
My laptop has one of these awfully fragile-looking tiny fw ports AND an
expresscard port, so i can use a firewire-expresscard port adapter
whenever i don't feel like using the tiny port (live situations
typically). It has the benefit to protect the motherboard at some degree
if someone trips on the fw cable : hopefully the only thing that get
destroyed is the adapter itself, and not the motherboard. Most of the
times when the cable is pulled hard, either the cable is unplugged or
the adapter gets out of its port without any damage.

hi all,
i have a firepod 1010 firewire soundcard, i am using linux / jack. the
new motherboard doesn't have firewire. what to do?
You talk about motherboard, so I assume this is a desktop machine, I
think you can easily get a firewire card and hook your soundcard to that.
I will spear you my rant about the situation of external sound card
for linux laptop users (many electronic musicians IMHO) as it would
only be full of bitterness and frustration.
