[X4U] iSight question...

[Stroller]

That's not actually, mine, but one I found Googling on the net.

It seems there may be two types of "cable adaptor" for the iSight.

I was about to say that:
    Unless your iSight is quite different from mine then you should be
    able to simply slide the firewire connector out of the cable adaptor,
    so that the cable adaptor slides loosely on the firewire cable. By
    placing your thumb & index finger on either button of the cable
    adaptor and sliding them vertically apart, one way or the other,
    then the cable adaptor will fall apart.

But as I was about to write this, I Googled for "iSight Manual" and 
found <http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/isight/iSightUserGuide.pdf>. 
The cable adaptor on pages 6 to 9 of this is clearly very different, 
but it looks like the firewire connector might come out with a good 
tug.

I think yours must be a later model, as the aluminium displays in the 
manual I've linked to weren't available when I got my iSight. Mine was 
supplied with two of the cable adaptors, which admittedly seem a little 
fragile.
