I bought the Adaptec Duo with 3 USB 2.0 and 2 Firewire connections on one card. Its a highly rated card. You can use pricegrabber.com to find various sources/prices.
Use the following link - http://www.adaptecstore.com/index.cfm?category=259 Good luck, Joel

Thanks Jole for the information. I guess what I should be asking is are all firewire cards the same? Do they just bundled the different ones with different software ? I wish I knew more about this stuff:-/

All firewire cards are not the same except for basically being a firewire card. Its just like camcorders that range from low to high quality with their features. you have to compare each card and decide whats important.
I chose the Adaptec because of its higher engineering features, i.e. quaility, the additional firewire/USB 2.0 ports, excellant drivers and website support. Each card does come with different stuff, software, cable etc. Here is a link to a firewire review use as a example. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=304 Hope this helps Joel
