Firewire 800 has only one size - 9 pin. It's a rectangular connector basically the size of two regular USB connectors stacked on top of each other, and roughly that shape. The connector is keyed in a way, so it will only fit in one direction.
Firewire 800 is backwards-compatible with firewire 400, you just need the right cable. Firewire 400 is about the same shape as 800 but instead of being completely rectangular, one side sticks out like a blunt triangle. cheers, jane On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 8:12 PM, David Truong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I have two different types of firewire cable here.
