IEEE-1394 can be 4-wire or
6-wire or 9-wire with 4-wire to 6-wire, 4-wire to 9-wire and 6-wire to
9-wire adaptation. there are gender-changers, too. What a mess!
4 wire is most often used in Vince's case to/from a DigiCam. Many firewire
cards only have 6 wire female connectors & these cards are most likely
1394a sometimes called Firewire 400 . These cards are usually cheap. This
SIIG card & cable set

enough to get you started & is only $24.37.
