    ilink to ilink-cable? Cam to PC-But PC doesnt have Firewire anymore

    Can i use this ilink(DV IN/OUT-firewire-cable together with card to attach old digital video Camera recorder Sony DCR-TRV30E to new win7-pc?
    its 4-pin and manual is showing 4pin-4pin ilink-ilink cable. is the small one also fitting the slot which takes 6pin-firewire?

    ILINK TO ILINK would that also work. slot is looking totally different. much smaller than firewire. i am puzzled about what was discussed on the net.
    This could be the right card:

    winxp still had firewire. but we cant find the cable anymore....
    Friend told he was successful on old PC. maybe with a different sony-cam-i have seen it! Thanks
    maybe we need also drivers.

    He is very convinced he used an USB-cable on winxp. But where to connect? manual doesnt confirm this.
    Have found newest software. maybe first installing that.
    Has mini-dv-cassette for video and memory stick- for photos only.

    Since the ilink/firewire cable has been found its sure it can be attached to the large firewire slot of HP-compaq dx6100.
    We only now need the pc-express-card. everything will surely be quicker now from firewire to pc-express.
    maybe some older pcs had genuine ilink(4pin) connectors.

    No firewire officially on DX 6100.... only via pci-express-card then.
