I have a wallstreet 233 and I use a newertech firewire pc card. It works beautifully for digital video. I use Extensions Manager to keep extensions to a bare minimum when I do video (yes, the specs of the machine are marginally adequate, but it does work; having 320MB of ram and a largish (20GB) hard drive also help --- dv takes up a lot of space). Also, this card is said to work right out of the box with OS X (I haven't tried that). They used to be real cheap, too, after newertech went out of business (I got it from outpost.com for $25).
