Motu 896 MK3 Firewire only and Windows

Post by SmartDoc48 »

I have an MOTU 896 MK3 firewire only model. I have been using it with an older Windows laptop with a PC Express Firewire card. Now that computer is dying on me. Newer laptops do not have PC Express card slot. How can I still use my 896 MK3 Firewire only hardware with a newer Windows laptop? Does any one know if there is a work around to solve my problem?

If the "newer Windows laptop" doesn't have FireWire or Thunderbolt, I don't see how.
