Sorry, I must have been confused by your original post that said you
couldn't find any that were available.

I haven't done any research on firewire, but a lot of the Dell branded
equipment is just rebadged items, and you may have had luck at the
site mentioned.  I just didn't do any of the leg work beyond listing a
site that I knew of that would possibly be of some help to find a
particular card you were looking for.
