USB Port To Female Firewire IEEE?
My new laptop does not have a firewire port or PCMCIA slot. How can I hook up my MiniDV Camcorder to get videos on to my computer?

Most likely, opiate, you will need to get something like a StarTech USB to ExpressCard adapter and a 1394 card to plug into it.

The adapter offers data transfer at up to 480 Mb/sec, so it should work fine for your camera. Will your old card work? Not sure. Expresscard is NOT compatible with either PCMCIA or CardBus standards. But, I bet if you search on newegg or Amazon, you can find a usb adapter that would work with the older cards if you have one.

Right, you'll either need to shop for an external adapter that supports a Cardbus device, or shell out for a new Expresscard Firewire adapter.

All the different formats for memory cards and expansion cards are enough to confuse everybody. Glad it's sorted out.
