Hello youngheat,

You can hook to your computer using USB storage mode.

You cannot hook any device directly to the USB port. The Fantom is a USB slave device and does not act as a host.

Could one logically get a USB/FireWire adapter PC card and hook the device into that?

OK youngheat. . . . it's time to go from theory to practice. When you connect to your computer, the Fantom appears as another drive. Drag and drop as you wish. . . . . .

Page 219 in the manual has all the info you need. Read it and try it, then if there are questions, please ask.
