Note that Macs don't support target mode over USB. Only Firewire and
Thunderbolt connections. So if the other machine only has USB you'll be
out of luck. While it may exist I doubt there is a USB to Firewire
converter as it would require lots of processing to connect the
mismatched speeds of the two technologies, not to mention quite
different signaling systems. At least my poking around didn't turn up
anything. There are Firewire video to USB downconverter boxes for video
cameras, but that's not quite the same thing.

Can you illustrate?
On one end it is firewire, what type of connector it is, what is on
the other end, usb or firewire as well?
Same connector on both sides or what?
Original message:
I've done this before; you'll be wanting a firewire a to a cable. It's
actually a great feature that comes in handy every now and again.

I am not aware of such an adapter to go from USB to firewire or the
other
way. Actually there would be little advantage in such a setup and
you would
be better off going firewire. Are you just looking to copy files
quickly or
migrate settings etc. from one Mac to another.

Hi!
Heard on this list that holding the t key while starting the mac
makes it
like a firewire external hard disk, if this is true are there usb to
firewire adapters or must I use firewire at both sides?
Thanks.
