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.

 

Thanks
