<p>Hi there!<br>
<br />I'm in the process of buying a new computer (I own a Toshiba Qosmio X-500, but it's not working that well anymore since it fell to the ground) and I'm willing to keep up with the brand, since it's such an amazing PC. Right now, the new Qosmio (870) doesn't have a Firewire connection, which is troubling to my set up.<br>
I have a Nikon Coolscan 9000ED and I use it a lot. The new Qosmios don't have a Firewire connection and they come with the new operating system Windows 8.<br>
<br />Is there by any chance a way of converting USB3 to Firewire? And does Windows 8 has drivers to support this scanner and its software?<br>
<br />I don't want to buy a computer that won't work with the scanner, since it's one of the nr 1 tasks I use it for. Can anybody help me on this?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>David</p>
