Interesting article James. As an aside to this, I have a Mac Mini (2.53GHz, 4 GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo) which has one Firewire 800 port. I also have a WD MYbook 600Gig external drive which has two Firewire 800 input ports. My question; where can I purchase an appropriate Firewire 800 cable to connect the two? Tried Dick Smith, Officeworks, and several other computer outlets in Morley, just got the normal blank look we have come to expect from people who have been immersed far too long in the PC/Windows world.
