I have a mobo that is 10+ years old. It has 2 1.1 usb ports. Can I remove those ports and replace them with 2 firewire ports by soldering them in? I don't have any pci slots available to install another card and I want to start using firewire instead of usb.

Ok. I have another question related to firewire. I have a docking station for a palm handheld. It came with a usb connection. So can I use a firewire cable to run it if I install a firewire jack to replace the usb jack into the handheld? This is really not a fake question. Honest.
