Re: Firewire/USB 2.0 Adaptors for M-Audio Firewire Solo



http://www.buyextras.com/2fiie13pcca.html

I'd try something like this before you muck about with
converting firewire to USB2 as I've heard USB2 isn't
all that for large streaming data applications like
audio or video.  I don't know if that's the best one
or best place to buy it from but I'm told they're
fairly common.
