Dell 4600C Firewire Modem PCMCIA Reader Part
With much searching I discovered how to order the "Front/ Rear IEEE
1394 Ports and Dual Front PCMCIA slots with Data Fax Modem PCIMOD [313-1815]" part for a Dell Dimension 4600C. Calling the sales people or spare parts people will never get you to this part. I found the info in the Dell Community Forums on their support page. The part number is R0224. Here is the note from the person that discovered this information: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- JGW4123 Forum Member With much persistence and some help from a very diligent Dell Technical Services representative (Jaen) I finally resolved the problem of locating the elusive firewire upgrade for my Dimension 4600C. The correct Dell part number is R0224. I called the following Dell Sales telephone number: 1-800-915-3355, x 66200. I ordered the R0224 PCMCIA Interface Card (cost $109 w/o shipping). I received it yesterday. It includes a PCI modem/ieee 1394 card with two RJ-11 and 4-pin firewire ports for the rear (I had to replace my existing PCI modem card). It also includes a circut card assembly with PCMCIA slots and 4-pin firewire port for the front; flex and wire cables are also included. I installed the hardware in minutes and was capturing video immediately, now ready to burn my own DVDs. I had been searching for the proper hardware for awhile with many hours on the phone and numerous useless email exchanges with Dell Technical and Sales support. I even purchased a few incorrect items in the painful process of trying to explain my objective to capture video and still maintain modem capability purchased with the 4600C. I hope you haven't given up yet. 01-24-2004 03:29 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks JGW4123! |
