[QUOTE="scottmcp432, post: 1228070, member: 179129"] Correct me if I am wrong, but he states that "I realized that I had a firewire 800 PORT that could connect TO my macbook pro". He does not say that he has a firewire 400 to 800 adapter cable. I have never seen and cannot find online ANY external hard drives that are firewire 400 speed only but come with a firewire 800 port. Every drive I find with both ports is firewire 800 speed when connecting via the firewire 800 port. Again, if I am wrong please correct me and sorry if I seem a bit rude. That is not my intent. Dad always said I would argue with a mile marker and old habits die hard I suppose. [/QUOTE]
