Ah, gotcha. Just for the record


though it doesn't really matter as regards your point, because I was incorrectly assuming that you were using it as an example of with something with Firewire onboard


there are apparently two different products:

The 1010 has a PCI card, but it talks to an external box:

The 1010LT has a PCI card alone, no external box, and then a ton of cables that fan out directly from the card:

Neither appears to have a Firewire interface. IIRC, the 1010LT was less expensive, was the one I was using.

PCI + BoB is what I had

I still have my FireWire card as I mentioned, but its only for that VHS + minidv deck (well and my old canon camcorder which does better with some of my minidvs. This process is going to take me years, I have so many to get through....)
