FireWire is close to being dead, it would be like buying a new PC and installing windows 98 on it :) . Why not get a new machine with Thundebolt 3 which is FAST.transfer speed of 40gbps. Even USB 3 and 3.1 are faster than both flavors of FireWire. Just make sure you buy a PC with a motherboard that supports Thunderbolt and has a free PCIe slot to install the TB3 card.
