FireWire is a method of transferring information between digital devices, especially audio and video equipment. Also known as IEEE 1394, FireWire is fast -- the latest version achieves speeds up to 800 Mbps. At some time in the future, that number is expected to jump to an unbelievable 3.2 Gbps when manufacturers overhaul the current FireWire cables.
You can connect up to 63 devices to a FireWire bus. Windows operating systems (98 and later) and Mac OS (8.6 and later) both support it.

Let's say you have your digital camcorder connected to your home computer. When your computer powers up, it queries all of the devices connected to the bus and assigns each one an address, a process called enumeration. FireWire is plug-and-play, so if you connect a new FireWire device to your computer, the operating system auto-detects it and asks for the driver disc. If you've already installed the device, the computer activates it and starts talking to it. FireWire devices are hot pluggable, which means they can be connected and disconnected at any time, even with the power on.
Now let's take a look at FireWire's specifications.
Does anyone know of a 400->800 adapter that will allow an existing Cinema HD display FW400 cable to plug directly into one of the 800 ports? Since the new macs have NO 400 ports it seems to make even the existing 30' display partially non-functional.
The Apple Stores don't carry such adapters, and a common cable with both 400 and 800 male ends won't do the job either.
The only workaround I know of is to daisychain the monitor's 400 cable into an external drive that has both 400 and 800 ports, that itself connects to the mac's 800 port.
