Re: Intel firewire 9 pin/header block to firewire plug...

I'm wondering if this'll do it,
....there looks like 2 pin headers on it :-)

Thanks Brian A.,

I'll try again, ...one thing just crossed my mind - I've been assuming a
that 1394a/b motherboard pin-header is different to a motherboard USB
pin-header, ...don't tell me they're the same thing ! ::::. ...or is
that key-pin on the wrong side ! ? ...don't tell me they're the same
thing ! (as you can tell, I haven't had much to do with firewire, though I
did find it interesting, a while ago, reading about all the troubles
people have had with the faster (b/800) version).

A while ago I put in a "33 in 1" 3 1/4" bay memory card reader that also
has Mic\Audio/USB port/and firewire ports on the front of it. I recently
connected the USB cable from it - to a spare motherboard USB pin header,
and would now like to connect the 1394a cable which has a "Intel std.
'block' 9 pin plug on it, which ...thinking about it is the same layout
motherboard (9pin ) USB pin-headers ? :-)

I could only find one pci card with a 1394a pin header on it :-

..so, I've spent ages trawling through UK sites trying to find a "block 9
pin to firewire plug converter" or a pci card with more sockets at the
rear, including USB 2.0 support/ports AND a 1394aANDb support 9 pin
header on it in addition to, or rather than, the "internal" firewire port
that's on lots of these type of card. Well, If it's going to use a pci
slot, I want as much on it as possible. ...and if there was one out there
with IDE ATA133 port/s on it, that would be lovely ! ...but, somehow I
don't think so !

When I was younger and more patient, I'd have thought nothing of
determining the pin-outs, chopping the thing off and fitting my own plug,
...mind you, ...during the time I've spent wading through hardware vendor
sites, I could have done it several times over by now.
...nowadays I just want something I can plug in !

regards, Richard

...for connecting a firewire port, (in a 3 1/4" bay memory card reader
that terminates at the end of one of its' cables in a std. Intel 9 pin
block), to an internal firewire port on a firewire PCI card ?
Is there such a thing, ...I've looked and looked and I can't blooming
well find one.

I found a SYBA pci card with just one firewire port on it, and a 9 pin
header but, it's abroad, ...and I might as well fit on with lots of
plug-holes :-)
...and USB ports as well, if you see what I mean.

TIA
