firewire connection (adapters?) for MBox pro 3rd generation

[bscism]

Hi

I have the MBox Pro 3rd generation - am thinking of buying a new laptop and will connect it to that sometimes. The mbox requires firewire connection which the laptop I'm interested in doesn't have. Are there adapters that allow connection through some other interface, such as USB perhaps?

Thanks.

USB, no

Express Port, yes

Thunderbolt, not that I know of but something may be in the works

Hi Bruce,

I personally do not recommend firewire adaptors. They will give you a verry hard time, you might even face with some compatibility issues w/PT. Instead of buying a FW card id recommend you to invest the money on comp with FW.
