It's a particular protocol that some devices use. The firewire connection looks similar to USB. If you have a firewire card installed then, you would see it in device manager.

I'm not really looking for a complete control surface, as I'm using a mixer. I just want a soundcard similar to the m-audio delta series...Gord, I know you thought that the delta 410 has firewire, but it doesn't. I looked into it. Thanks for any and all help. Omar Binno
