"Backwards"? Since a FW cable (6-pin or 4-pin) is only made to plug in one way, best I can tell or am able to do ... what do you mean by "backwards"? Not that I'm going to spend my morning trying to do it, but I am intrigued ...

People on some of the video editing forums have been claiming that the
firewire ports in G-4s have been frying the circuitry of their video
cameras, when they connect them via firewire cables to transfer video.
My Miglia DC-2 video converter box (analog to DV and back) just
flickered and died yesterday, although it's only a few weeks old.
iMovie sees this box as a video camera when connected, and it is
plugged into one of my G-4 733's firewire ports, and draws its power
from it. I wonder what the chances are that my Mac's firewire port just
burned up the video converter box? Is this a known problem that I'm
just now becoming aware of?

It only does that if you plug the FW cable in backwards. Seriously.
