-=PCTechTalk=- Re: computer storage

You could buy a new firewire component and replace the bad one, but the 
desired computer does not have a firewire port.  I do not know of any 
adapter to go from firewire to USB but you could buy a firewire card for the 
computer.

You could buy a USB equal to the firewire component to replace it but that 
is probably as expensive as buying a whole new enclosure, and you would need 
a certain level of technical skill to accomplish the change.

The only other  solution I can think of would be to purchase a new enclosure 
with an appropriate device for connecting to the desired computer.
