I have an external firewire hard drive for my laptop specifically for HDV
capture. My laptop has one native firewire port, but my external firewire
hard drive has two firewire ports, one to go to the computer, and the other
I plug my camera into. Surprisingly, it works exceptionally well.
When researching about configuring this setup, I read several places that
some firewire PCMCIA cards cannot handle external firewire hard drives. I
guess you just have to be selective with the PCMCIA/firewire card you buy.
Hope that helps!
