[DM-MUG] Firewire 400 adapter

[CW Smith]

The Apple store at Jordan Creek should have a FW800-to-FW400 cable in  
the back right-hand corner. You probably won't find one for $13, but  
you'll have it in your hands right away.

I always recommend having one permanent cable to do a job, as opposed  
to using adapters. You get  a more reliable connection that way.

It would probably be wise to call and ask the Apple store first:  
515.440.6860, press 5 to speak to a human.

Peace,
CW
