The Flex-3000 is ideal for fieldday or EMCOMM use as you can put a notebook on top the TRX. Both the Panasonic CF-52 and thE GETAC S400 semirugged notebooks have firewire connectors that work with the Flex-3000. You can get them in a good used condition.

I had semi success with a converter..usb to firewire. Its worth a shot otherwise u need a card and a spare slot. Give converter a shot first.

Let me put this issue to reset.  A native Firewire 400/800 interface is required.  In general, the VIA and TI chipset based Firewire adapters work the best for Win10.  Not all Firewire adapters can handle the high data throughput that is required for the FLEX-5000 and FLEX-3000.
