did you go on canon to see if they sell the wire? Thats the only place i would know to look. I would contact them and see.

So you just need the Firewire Cable itself? This is what it looks like

It sounds like you dont even have firewire, since you said your computer has USB and not firewire.

You dont need a cable, there isnt a firewire to usb converter.

You need to go to best buy, circuit city, compusa, etc... and get a IEEE 1394 Firewire add-in PCI card, a 3 port 1394 add in card costs about $35.

the adaptec or dynex will work just fine, 3 firewire connections should do you for a long time

you could pay the extra and get a 3/2 firewire/usb card, if you need another usb port... but that sound like its the case... just a nerd note, you can have 172 devices daisy chained from just one original usb port.
