Yes , the 2007 is still running ok. I will look for the Thunderbolt or firewire, both seem to have a large horizontal slot with the symbol <---> above it , otherwise they have variations of the same.

Both iMacs should have Firewire, 2007 has both FW400 & FW800 with the Y symbol..

That looks similar but the newer is a 2010 Imac 11.2 so is the FW800 also on that
