I have a Dell Latitude C640 laptop, and since it has no FireWire port, I use
a PCMCIA card. It does not, however, supply power to my new external
FireWire drive as an internal FireWire port would.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a PCMCIA card that would supply
power (as well as handle data) for an external FireWire drive? I would love
not having to tote around yet another power cord.
