Anyone else starting to notice the change in FireWire drive connectivity?
I'm starting to add external FireWire drives that are dual FW 400/800
with 6 pin (400) and 9 pin (800) connectors. The old FW400 drives had
two 6-pin connections for easy daisy-chaining. The new dual speed
drives have two 9-pin (800) and one 6-pin which doesn't allow for
connecting two FW400 drives.
Do 6-pin/9-pin converters exist? if so do they work?
Or do I go to Firewire Hubs?
Thanks,
DaleH
