I'm trying to add firewire capabilities to my laptop. I have an ExpressCard 54 slot, but I am having trouble finding a Firewire card for that. I have found several PCMCIA cards, though. They look similar in size, so I wasn't sure if they were interchangeable.

If they aren't, what can you recommend as an alternative?

They are not interchangeable. It is like comparing ISA to PCI cards. While they do have same purpose, connectors are not same.
