I was wondering if anyone out there has seen or knows of a FW800/USB2.0 Combo card for Macs? I have found several USB2/FW400 but I would really like to kill two birds with one card 🙂

Any help (and links) is appreciated.

humm...i can't find one either...

Although it might be cheaper to buy two cards....

You don't get the added price of trying to squish two high speed interfaces on one card

Firewire 800 $80

USB 2.0 $20

About $100...not bad...i would guess the two together would be alot more.

Unless price isn't an option 🙂 Then i guess you get to wait a little bit.

Good point and thanks NP3.

I think I will pick up that USB 2.0 card and wait for FW800 to come down in price. I have no need for a combo card and don't need FW800 today...I mean, I DO have a DP 867 with lotsa open slots 🙂
