Does it come with firewire or a port to put in a firewire express card?

I assume you are talking about firewire 400. It doesn't come with firewire. You could look at a possible adapter: usb to firewire, it;s a maybe that it exists.. This notebook really offers no under the hood expansion - like most. You would need to do surgery to get to the motherboard, only to discover there are no PCI or PCIe slots available. Don't even know if the current Apple laptops have firewire and Apple invented the connectivity.

I don't see it on mine -- What I see: hdmi input, microphone input, ethernet cable input, and 3 USB ports (and a headset input too, of course). I hope this helps!

Hi there. No, there is no firewire or other port. There is just the one USB.

Not compatible 'out-of-the-box', but there are plenty of cables available that will allow you to plug the firewire 400 device into the firewire 800 port. Of course, your firewire 400 device won't transfer at 800 rates.

I had to provide video adaptor. I do not recall whether a FireWire cable was included. Rest were included

NO - It only has one port - it needs to plugged into a hub. Not like the older USB & Firewire Pro readers that I loved that stacked so well!!!

Yes, but you will need to buy a FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 cable (6 pin to 9 pin), or a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter.

Although it doesn't have a FireWire connection, you can use it with the USB connection. My idea was that this would be a temporary solution till I get my new Mac with thunderbolt and then it will fly. Hope this helps.

Not sure, but mine was purchased before Thunderbolt was available, and would have HAD to go in another input. Probably not Firewire either. Mini VGA?

No you can not connect firewire to any sort USB ports. Fire wire and Usb are two different dinosaurs. Fire wire sends a signal kinda like this [-------------------------------------------] [-------------------------------------------] where usb sends signals like this [---] [---] [---] [---] While there are some supposed USB to PCMCIA or even Express Card adapters on the market. You can not use a Firewire card in such adaptor, because the same signal issues. You have a USB BUS and also a PCI bus that interface with an Express Card slot or PCMCIA slot. Firewire HAS to interface with the PCI aspect of it. Due to the way the firewire sends its signal. It just will not work. Trust me on this one. For Laptops with such Express Card slots try an older Dell E latitude series. There is also a handful of laptops out there if you search hard enough for such slots, and or still have A T.I. Firewire chipset built in. They are getting harder to find, and they are much more $$$ than the average consumer laptop sadly. The fact is people who use firewire devices are far and few between. So Hopefully manufactures of Audio devices will adapt to the USB 3.0 or the future the USB 4.0 (not out yet) instead of firewire. for an attempt at lossy formats.

Yes, use the usb3 port on the drive left of the firewire ports http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154548

It has a Firewire and USB 2.0 connection but I use them to upload to my computer not the other way around. I believe that you can use it to upload because you can use it as a hard drive and move data back and forth from it. It does read from SDXC cards as well as CF cards. I have a CF card and it is pretty fast uploading from that.

A pci firewire card and 4pin firewire cable is required to transfers from camera's firewire port or use a device like sony mc10 that takes only SD signal from camera. Pci card is best

This is a firewire card and is used to import video from some devices (camcorders and more) that still use firewire. Not for TV.

I can't tell if there is more than one version, but this one specifically is a USB 3.0, which means it does not go into Firewire

You need to have a FireWire port in your PC. If, you have Mac, the port is already there.

This camera does not have a USB port - you will need to get a firewire card for your computer.

No, this device is to get video out of the computer into a tv; not the other way around. What you need is a video capture device (probably connected through the usb port, since i haven't seen any with firewire), do a quick search in amazon and you should find a few options.
