[X4U] iSight cable length

[Jan Melichar]

Thanks for the various comments. I had assumed that the firewire port  
at the back of apple's 23 inch monitor (which I have been using for  
the camera) would be the equivalent of any other FW port - alas no.  
The camera works fine when plugged into a 'regular' FW port.
