I just realized something. I didnt think I had a firewire port on my laptop. I do but it's an S400 (mini port). I have the firewire itself from my charger.Seems I need to install a firewire port (yikes, I've never done this before). Do you know the most efficient port that doesn't cost too much?

I apologize but i have no idea of these ports but since you needed help i'm going to ask fellow forum mates about this problem.
Thank you for updating this post.
Have a great day and enjoy your stay.
