Here is a link for a USB 2.0 card. You can also purchase an adapter, but why not have a few fast ports?

There really isn’t a good USB to firwire connector—They are completely different protocols. . @dpworkin is correct, your best bet is to install a USB 2.0 card, but you have to make sure that your computer will handle it first.
