Be wary of desktop PCMCIA adapters that use 50-pin cables and thinking that they are SCSI. From what I've seen of several of them, they are really just port extensions to get to the drive bay adapter from the card slot. When looking for a SCSI PCMCIA adapter be very sure it's a self contained unit and not someone selling something based solely off what kind of cables plug into it. Also, a PCI based PC-Card adapter can give CardBus support, which means you can use the (likely) two PC Card slots for a USB/FW card and some sort fo PC Card video capture solution. Heck, there are FW video capture devices for cheap in a lot fo places. I have no idea how good your Aurora Igniter is, but I've got an ADS FW unit that takes composite, component, S-Video, FW, etc. that I got used for under $10.
