if it only has analog out, how will the 1394 help?
but cuz you say it will, first place I checked:
http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0246465
2-Port FireWire 1394 CardBus PCMCIA Adapter RoHS
$35
I have seen cheaper. i saw one in the bargin bin once for $10. really should
have grabbed it.
Also, many laptops come with it. not that that makes it cheap, but maybe you
could pick up an old one for $100 or less. feel like messing with linux on ppc
mac? (no clue if you can find a mac for under 100.)
