Just for the records, I got one of these Firewire to USB cables from
ebay for $.99 and plugged it into my Sony DCR HC38. The computer
actually runs Server 2003 which is not supported by the Sony USB
driver, but nevertheless, all I got was an 'USB Device not Recognized'
error. The Sony Motion Browser does not recognize anything, either. I
will keep looking for a driver for this cable, but without such a
driver imho this cannot work.

Have you actually tried to use an applicatin to capture from the camera?
Expecting server 2003 to just lay it down like you were plugging in a
thumb drive may be expecting too much.
