[Cube] FireWire 400/800 Cable ...

[Gary Heartsfield]

Gary   Glad you brought that up  800 to 400.

Several people I know were also unaware of the flexibility the fire  
wire 800 offers. The fw 800 speed
is super.  If you daisy chain the drive be sure and put the 800 drives  
in front of the 400 devices, and you will not lose the
800 speed.
