Apple’s FW-Thunderbolt adapter has given me no problems, ever in all the years I've used it. I’ve never connected an iSight, but I have connected a video camera, without issue. No ideas about the USB 3 adapter…sad to say I still don’t have any Mac with a USB3 connection... Get the FW800-TB one, connecting that to a FW400 port is just a matter of getting a FW cable that has a 400 connector on one end and an 800 on the other. $5 at Monoprice: <http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=3542> and it lets you connect to FW 800 ports as well (for things like Target mode on older Mac laptops and such. Monoprice also has the FW800 to FW 800 cable as well for about the same price. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
