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

...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.

I cannot tell from your description if this is what you want, but have
a look in the "internal ports" section of Frontx.com .

This one converts a header to a 6 pin Firewire.

Note that several pinouts for motherboards are possible, and
from your description, you could be dealing with a 2x5. Likely
to be this pinout.

You might still need a Firewire male-to-male cable, to
complete the project. Think through the pinout carefully.
The most critical part of Firewire, is making sure the
power and ground on the six pin, get wired properly.
Swapping data pins with one another won't hurt anything, but
mixing up data and power, will blow stuff. Data pins are
not designed to handle direct connection to the VP.
