TRENDnet 3 port 1394 FireWire Card Installation. The TRENDnet firewire card was purchased online from amazon.com for $19.99 + shipping. The purpose of a firewire card is to allow data transfer from a digital device such a camcorder to a computer via firewire cord.
You can expect a Computer Shop to charge you $40 - $50 per hour to work on your computer... plus the cost of the parts. Well, taking your computer to a computer shop and paying the computer shop by the hour isn't really necessary if you simply want to install a fire wire card.
If you know how to read, if you have 2 eyes, and if you have 2 hands with opposable thumbs you can install a firewire card yourself... the only tools needed to install a firewire card are a pair of scissors and a screw driver (If you is Ghetto & if you don't got no screwdriver - you may use a butter knife as a screwdriver).
