I would like to make use of the Firewire 400 port on my Macbook as additional USB(s) port. For love nor money I cannot work out what, if any, cable or adapter I need to make this happen.
All my peripherals are USB style
Many thnaks
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.6)
Check out this article http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-firewire-to-usb-adapter.htm

Thanks so much for this. The second link pointed me to a US site but I am sure I can find a UK one. My problem is the connector to e.g. My external hard disk or printer or whatever is different and I am not sure how best to describe the socket in the appliance. I am inclined to say small fat USB or small thin USB or small squashed USB. I am sure you get my point.. Is there a web site I can look at which describes the ends to USB cables using more scientific language!
