Thread: How can I connect a dvd burner that only has a firewire plug to my pc that only has

usb ports? I have recently purchased a LaCie DVD/RW on the web and when it arrived I found that there were only two fire wire ports to the rear of it.
Unfortunately I only have the normal ports on the back of my P.C.but it appears no firewire port.
Could someone please advise on how I should go about connecting these two units.

Regards.R.

You need to get a firewire card. Like this

Open up the back of the PC and just slot it into a spare card bus like this
