I've seen some firewire/usb hubs that can offer firewire ports via an available usb port..to offer firewire support to computers that don't have any.
Does anyone know if this would work for networking a laptop to a pc? I have enough nics already and this just seems easier and less expensive.
I think your post belongs to the 'PC' section.
Moving it there....
I wouldn't recommend it. The two technologies work rather differently, and performance will suck.
Yes, it’s my fault.
You could just get a PCI FireWire card.
PCI for a laptop? 😮
Besides it costed less than a cardbus firewire.
Anyway I may have found a better device, a USB Ethernet adapter. I'm going to simply plug her into my USB2.0 port and then use a cable to connect to the laptop. Cheap and easy! 🤣 (and I don't need another NIC card installed)
Sorry, I missed the laptop part.
Thats ok we're none of us perfect 😊
