[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1769978, member: 376394"] Can you link to the specific device you are referencing? As far as IEEE1394 and FAT32, IEEE1394 is referencing FireWire, and FAT32 is a drive formatting option. Also, your FireWire drive format, depends on what computer OS it was being used with. Back in 2000, FAT32 would have been the most common to be used with Windows OS, and Mac OS X. How big is the drive (MB or GB), is it AC powered (plugs in) or bus powered, what maker and model is it? You could try the adapter, I have never used one of those, because I didn't know they were made. I don't know for sure if the MBA will see it when it is plugged in. [/QUOTE]
