Thanks for that. I'm thinking of giving it a try but a couple of friends who are in tonight tell me they have reservations about such adapters:- 1. First opinion is that since the transfer technolgy of both devices is totally different, the adapter simply wont ork. 2. Second opinion tends to support #1 and also says that any attempt to use it would damage my computer. Have you had any actual experience with such adapters, Plastiv Nev?

Hello, A new member and fairly new to the PC world. I'd be most grateful for anyone's input. I have an external soundcard that I want to connect from the card's male USB outlet to the firewire input my laptop running Vista. Why I need to do this is a long, sorry story of lousy support from the manufacturer of the soundcard (CME Matrix K) but, basically, if you buy the USB version instead of the FW version of the soundcard, you find out the hard way that CME only has drivers for the FW version. Even installing ASIO4All drivers hasn't helped. I can't get a FW expansion slot from CME because they simply don't respond to any correspondence. So I'm wondering is there such a thing as a USB (from the souncard) to FW (on the laptop) lead/connecter/adapter available which could be a solution? Thanks
