Hi Merv,
As far as I know, you don't need the firewire port on the drive to be FW400
- FW 800 is backward compatible.
All you need is a FW400 to FW800 cable, depending on the drive you buy it
may even be thrown in.
When FW800 drives first came out, they tended to ship with both fw800
fw400
Thanks for that Neil. I will check that out when in the process of
purchasing.
Regards
Merv

because reformatting will erase them.

Hi Ronni and James
Thank you for your responses and your ten step process Ronni. If
possible I will now purchase a HD with a firewire 400 port.
