Thanks to our friends at Mac Components Engineered, we received one of the first shipping Ratoc CBFW2 FireWire PC cards. The US$279 PC cards allow you to connect FireWire (IEEE1394) peripherals to any Cardbus enabled PowerBook, including Lombard, Wallstreet and some PowerBook 2400s. The cards are available now from MCE – stay tuned for a full review next week.
