Hi. If I had a mac book pro there would be. But the lower end mac books
don't have any card slots. If it had, I would have done that.
That was what I did with my old dell laptop for a few years and it worked
great.

Cameron,
Is there a PCMCIA port or a PC Express port on the Mac? If so, why don't
you just get a FireWire card that utilizes the T I chip set? There are
several out there, so I'm sure you should be able to do that much more
readily then having a modification done to the main system board of the Mac.
