Topic: MADIface over USB 3.0?

My new Dell laptop (XPS, Win 7 64 bit, running Sonar) has the following ports:

USB 2.0 (1)
USB 3.0 (2)
eSATA/USB 2.0 combo
SPDIF
HDMI

Since there is no expresscard or firewire port, how can I get something like a MADIface connected to this laptop? I've seen adapters for USB 3.0 to expresscard, but they won't recognize PCI devices, so I'm guessing that won't work for the MADIface card.

was hoping there was some way to get the MADI in/out via the USB 3.0 ports.

thanks,

john

No way. For MADI you bought the wrong laptop. Othwerwise USB 2 gives you the option of the Fireface UFX.
