Thanks in advance for the help. I want to run my Flex-3000 from a Dell Inspiron laptop. The Dell only has 1 HDMI and 2 usb ports. What cable or interface should I use? Thanks..

You will need a different laptop, if it has no firewire capability you cannot use it! Sorry0

You need a port for the 1394 card that accepts the flexwire. When I bought my laptop the model above it was on sale but didn't have the right port for the card. Go to the KE9NS.com website for EVERYTHING Flex.Truly AWESOME site, Darrin and his software renewed my 3G a bunch !1

Ignore the nay-sayers
Many Inspirons have an Expresscard slot and you can get a Firewire card to fit this. Look for one with a Texas Instruments chipset.

If the laptop does have an expresscard slot, get this :
