anyone remember?

I had a PowerBook that was stolen after I'd ordered an interface for a mic and keyboards. It never came and I cant remember what it was called - yeah, just call me another dumb blonde...
I'm getting an iBook to replace the last portable and want to order again. All I remember is that the postage to France was more than the goddam article itself! Does anyone know/remember what it was called and who makes it? (it was something like 'iMic' but I'm not sure).
Thanx
Tiloop (means 'Little Wolf' when read with a French accent)

PowerBooks, Firewire & Music - how?

I use a PowerBook G4/400 MHz and would like to create a home studio. I have a good mic with a jack and intend to buy keyboards with a Midi connection. How do I configure things so that I can use the FireWire port instead of the USB? Does anybody know? I know Yamaha makes an interface but I read that it's not compatible with the G4. Can anyone confirm that?
