Firewire card query

Hello everyone, this is my first posting here. I am new to this!

My new year's resolution is to transfer video footage from out digital
camcorder so it can be played on pc or dvd. I expect I'll be posting
here again !

Anyway, so in preparation I've read the last 2 weeks of postings in this
group and the manual for our JVC GR-DV707 and ordered (we live in the
middle of nowhere) the correct firewire cable for it.

So far so good :) but on the papajohn site it says I also
need to buy and install a firewire card for my computer if it didn't
come with one.

How do I know if I've got one already or not ? Where do I look ? (Dell
Inspiron 9400 Win XP SP2 1024ram)

Thanks in advance, Regards, Val

connection(s) on computers... scroll down the page pretty far... look at my
laptop picture

Go to the following Dell site...

Dell Inspiron 9400
http://tinyurl.com/yhvhld

Scroll down to: I/O Ports...

Notice...IEEE 1394 integrated port
(1394 cable and software sold separately)

That's your FireWire connection.

Papajohn and John thank you both for your replies. Good news then for
me - I only need the cable :)

I will continue to lurk here and may well post again if I get stuck when
my cable arrives.

Happy Christmas everyone if it doesn't come before then !

Regards, Val
