Hi folks

Recently bought a nice 24" iMac (the other one failed - logic board) and I'm frustrated by not having two Firewire 400 ports. It does have a Firewire 800 port but I don't have any peripherals to fit. I understand that there is an adaptor made by Sonnet that you can plug into the 800 port then plug a standard 400 cable into it.

Does anyone in WA stock such a thing?

Hi Mike,

I purchased from Daniel Kerr (MacWizardry) in May 2005 a H-Box External 6 Port Firewire Repeater/Hub.
I've found it great, never a problem with it & it's so small.
Approx. 10cm x 6cm x 2cm
I have four External Firewire Drives connected through it to my MacBook Pro.

Features:
Compliant with IEEE 1394 standard
Supports 100, 200 and 400 Mbps data transfer
Hot swappable and real Plug & Play capability
Provided on 4 pin and five 6 pin FireWire ports
Provides over current protection
Package Contents
6 port repeater hub
User's manual
External AC power adapter
One FireWire cable

Cheers,
Ronni
