LM,

A cable exits that is FW 400 on one end, and the FW 800 on the other.   
You don't have to loose the FW 400 devices in order to have one of the  
new iMacs.  We sell these cables in the store where I work.
I've used such cable many times to connect the newer iMacs to older  
platforms for Data Migration.  Works great.

Thought I'd share ...
