Can I add a firewire port/card to my

OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 870-130vx CTO?   I added one to my old HP but not sure if can on this new one.   It's for my old camcorder.   If so, what kind?   Thanks!

Your machine has

• PCIe x16 (Gen 3): 1
• PCIe x1 (Gen 3): 1
• M.2 socket 1, key A: 1
• M.2 socket 3, key M: 1

Its specs:

You can use PCIe x 1 above for a firewire card such as

There are few 800Mbps cards around.

Hi

You have a PCIe x1 slot on your MB.

You should be able to add a Firewire expansion card.

Check Amazon or other sites for options.

Thank you so much!!

it seems that the only PCI slot is occupied by the graphics card.

Am I missing something?

Trying to add a firewire card for an audio interface,
