UPDATE: I just got mine, and in addition to the card, it comes
with Ulead VideoStudio 4 ("basic/SE" version), Ulead PhotoExpress SE,
and an 8' 4-to-6 pin FireWire cable. The regular version of
VideoStudio retails for $100 by itself (don't know how this
version differs from that one...).
Outpost.com has the Newer Technology PCMCIA firewire
card for laptops for $35, which includes overnight
delivery.
They list both PC and Mac versions, so be sure to pick
the PC version if that's what you want.
The caveot: 1) Newer Technology recently went out of
business, which is why these cards are being cleared
out. They made good quality stuff, but future driver
support is obviously going to be scare or non-existant.
However, this card comes with drivers for Win98 and
Win2000...
Still, for $35 this is a steal. If you need firewire
capability, of course. USB II is about to step up to the
plate, and it will be interesting to see what the ultimate
fallout is...
I figure for $35, I can afford to splurge now and be
splurge again later.
