**Firewire…**

I have a computer that only has USB. Im looking to buy an audio interface to use with ableton. My friend found a cool one but its got a firewire output. Is there any way this can work with my computer? Do i have to use a usb interface? Suggestions for an interface i should look into? Looking for something with 8 mic inputs.

You can get a Firewire Expresscard. Make sure to buy one with a Texas Instruments chipset!!
