IEEE 1394 (iLink Firewire) to Desktop PC

[jammold]

Hi guys.

I wondered if it is possible to connect my K115B to a Windows 98 desktop via FireWire.

I need to buy a FireWire card but do you have any suggestions as to what brand to use and the average cost? I have one free PCI socket to install the desktop card in. If I can avoid it I want to use the iLink socket integrated in my VAIO PC rather than get a PCMCIA CardBus adapter.

Anybody have any ideas?

Much appreciated.

I agree Rob, Firewire 800 seems to be a Mac thing still though....

For real external drive performance - try this lovely thing.

Thanks again - LOL this is going on my ever expanding xmas list! It is ideal - with the aluminium case and all for travelling weekly... ...and 350GB of disk space - I am going to ask for it for xmas and hope santa brings it!:smileylaugh:

It's the first external firewire RAID I've seen and it's a marvellous thing - Hope you get it
