You need a Thunderbolt-Firewire converter, such as this one <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapter> for FW800 and an appropriate cable, which you almost certainly have since it used to be connected to your iMac. If you need a FW800-FW400 cable go to Monoprice, they’re cheap ~$5-6, as I recall. (Actually go to Monoprice for all your cabling and home theatre/networking needs…they’ve got amazing prices.
