i have an hp dv6855ee http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/me/en/ho ... 22373.html

the specs says that it has expresscard expansion slot (compatible with both 54 and 34 formats), id like to get a new FW interface and im particualry interested in the Lacie FW 800, which is on a cardbus format.

will it work for me??

ho, yeah. and is it worth upgrading from my stock fw (no TI chipset, instead it's a RICOH)

Unless you have something you want to run at 800 there is no gain using 800 on MOTU equipment and you will need an adapter cable.

actually, i though i might use it because of the TI chipset.

c'mon guys. how are you connecting your lovely Motu mk3 toys, via usb 2.0???

The TI chipset will help to stay in compliance with MOTU, but you should be able to find a 400 FW with a TI chipset cheaper. Why pay more for what you can't optimize.
