Re: Firewire/USB 2.0 Adaptors for M-Audio Firewire Solo

I probably wasn't clear. I am looking for a firewire audio interface, not 
USB, and I'll buy either the ProSonus or M-Audio units...it's the cardbus 
firewire/USB 2.0 adaptor that I'm looking for...so that I can turn my 
cardbus slot into a firewire or USB 2.0 I/O.
