firewire, connections, lost dazed and confused

[beavereater]

OK so I bought the Canon HV20

New to transfering video from the device to PC. My GA-K8N Pro-SLI F4 has firewire, but I simply assumed that this meant that I already had some sort of connector from the back. I guess I was mistaken?

So, as a newbie, what steps should I take? Do I have to buy a seperate card of some sort? Or should there have been something in my mobo box (Checked, but nothing there)...or what?? HELP!?!?!

Unless you still have the ribbon cable

Looks like the firewire port is a header on the MB, you might have received a connector bracket in the box (it's on the options page). If not go to a computer store and buy one, would be cheaper than a PCI card.

it should have come with a back panel connector with ribbon cables attached that hooks up to the m.b. and goes into an empty slot cover.

Miscellaneous
Cables included 3 x IDE cable 1 x floppy cable 2 x Serial ATA cable 1 x USB / IEEE 1394 panel

if you don't have one you can get a front panel to go into a 3.5" bay that you can hook into the m.b. connectors. newegg has them.
